The official complaints related to non-fungible token (NFT) scams, problems, and price manipulations the Chinese government received surged by 30,000% in 2022, according to Forkast News.
Chinese regulators disclosed that they received 59,700 complaints throughout the year, as opposed to 198 in 2021, the report states. According to the regulators, most complaints are about failing to receive purchased items, failed refunds, price manipulations, and high transaction fees.
China is known for its anti-crypto stance. However, NFTs remain to be a grey area for the country.
In December 2022, China announced it would launch its first fully-regulated NFT trading marketplace on the first day of 2023. The platform would be known as the “China Digital Asset Trading Platform” and provide institutions and individuals with rights to protection and monitoring concerning NFTs.
In the same month, China’s capital Shanghai also launched a $149 million metaverse fund. The purpose of the fund is to develop the metaverse industry in the country and increase competition in this field. Seven different provinces have already announced their roadmaps to become the metaverse hub of the country.
Even though 2022 saw the coldest winter in crypto history, NFTs remained almost fully resilient to the price movements.
