<p>Former Chinese Finance Minister Lou Jiwei recently warned of the global financial risks associated with cryptos, particularly the adoption of Bitcoin ETFs in the United States. This statement comes as over-the-counter (OTC) cryptocurrency brokers in China see a significant increase in investment flows.</p>

<p>Lou Jiwei warned of the negative implications that cryptos could have on global markets, due to price fluctuations that could create financial instability.

<p>Furthermore, the recently approved Bitcoin ETFs in the United States also raise questions about their potential impact on the global financial system. During periods of volatility, these products could exacerbate fluctuations in <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/crypto-markets/bitcoin-btc-en/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">bitcoin prices</a> and create gaps between the ETF price and that of BTC. Experts have already observed volatility events that perfectly illustrate these concerns.</p>

<p>In response to these crypto developments, the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) held a meeting to enhance inter-agency coordination and <a href="https://finance.sina.cn/hy/2024-09-28/detail-incqsnva4352322.d.html?oid=3826804018400032&amp;vt=4" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">promote specific monetary policy tools</a>, such as special loans for stock buybacks. This initiative aims to stabilize Chinese financial markets amid growing global uncertainties.</p>
<p>China is taking these measures in a rather delicate context, where black market crypto trading has exploded, reaching $23.7 billion in 2024. This rapid growth of the underground cryptocurrency market underscores the urgency for stricter regulation to protect the country’s financial stability.</p>
