It was reported on the 25th of September that The People’s Bank Of China made a firm announcement that ALL crypto related activities such as; transactions, providing pricing services and launching new tokens, are illegal.

The platform created by Vaynerchuk and Schnabel is billed to be the first independent online auction platform providing artists a new platform to create art.
