Chinese authorities have issued a warning about fake stablecoins flooding the market, posing as financial innovations to deceive investors.
Regulators in China have identified several new projects offering fraudulent stablecoins without actual reserves, leading to scams like Ponzi schemes and money laundering.
Unlike established stablecoins like USDT and USDC, these fake tokens lack safeguards and are often associated with criminal activities like gambling.
Global adoption of stablecoins remains strong, with fiat-backed tokens dominating the market, while Chinese authorities urge caution and vigilance against unauthorized stablecoin issuers.
