Chinese users were reportedly unable to find results for popular cryptocurrency exchanges on major search engines in the country.
Keyword searches for trading platforms such as Binance, OKEx and Huobi yielded no results, according to various media outlets.
The searches were conducted on major search engines like Baidu, Sogou, Zhihu, and Weibo.
This marks yet another sign of further tightening on cryptocurrencies, especially with regards to online content.
Earlier this month, multiple popular Weibo accounts featuring related content were reportedly suspended or shut down over violation of the social media platform’s rules.
