The Chinese government launched one of its toughest anti-cryptocurrency policies in September after imposing a blanket ban on cryptocurrency mining in May.

The September crackdown on cryptocurrency made any cryptocurrency-related transactions illegal and banned central forex trading platforms from providing any services within the country of China.

The ban on the operations of foreign cryptocurrency exchanges has led to an increase in the downloading of many anonymous wallets and the use of Defi protocols and Dex exchanges.

The rising popularity of DEX platforms has also led to an increase in the number of scams associated with them.

According to a recent report by a prominent Chinese insider on Twitter, the number of scams related to fake “metamask” wallets is on the rise.
