“More than a third of the world’s bitcoin transactions now flow through China’s largest bitcoin trading website BTC China, according to bitcoin data websites. China has surpassed Japan’s Mt.Gox and Europe’s BitStamp, reaching 100,000 Bitcoins in daily trading volumes, or more than 400 million yuan (U.S.$65.7 million) in daily transactions. In recent years China has been pushing to internationalize the yuan, adding more value to the once tightly controlled currency on international markets. But despite the changes, controls mean individuals still find it difficult to invest in assets outside China. As a result, more Chinese are looking to invest in alternative assets like bitcoin.”
