China’s crackdown on cryptocurrency transactions “is a big opportunity for the U.S.”, according to Pat Toomey, the top Republican on the Senate Banking Committee.

China’s central bank banned all crypto-related transactions, including services provided by off-shore exchanges. The People’s Bank of China said on its website that cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin and Tether are not fiat currency and cannot be circulated.
