Summary
Chinese authorities are considering implementing market stabilization measures worth 2 trillion yuan to revive the sluggish stock market. However, the plan does not seem to have had an impact on the price of Bitcoin, which was down 2.3% at the time of writing. Beijing plans to use state-owned enterprises’ offshore accounts and local funds to invest in onshore stocks through Hong Kong exchange links. While local stock market indexes reacted positively to the news, some analysts believe that measures to support the renminbi could have a negative impact on Bitcoin’s price. Despite this, some market participants remain optimistic about the impact of China’s economic recovery on the global economy.
