China has banned the issuance of yuan-linked stablecoins overseas without regulatory approval, according to people familiar with the matter, as authorities step up efforts to curb capital flight and defend the currency.

中国已禁止未经监管部门批准在境外发行与人民币挂钩的稳定币，据知情人士透露，这是当局加大力度遏制资本外流和保卫货币的举措之一。

The People’s Bank of China and the Cyberspace Administration of China recently issued a verbal directive to some companies, telling them not to issue stablecoins pegged to the yuan, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing private information.

据不愿透露姓名的知情人士表示，中国人民银行和国家互联网信息办公室最近向一些公司发出了口头指示，要求它们不要发行与人民币挂钩的稳定币。

The regulators also asked platform operators to conduct self-checks and remove any yuan-backed stablecoins from their platforms, the people said. The PBOC and CAC didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.

知情人士称，监管机构还要求平台运营商进行自查，并从其平台上移除任何以人民币为支持的稳定币。中国人民银行和国家互联网信息办公室未立即回应置评请求。

China has been tightening its grip on crypto since banning the trading and mining of cryptocurrencies in 2021, concerned about risks to its financial system including capital flight and fraud. The latest move comes as the yuan faces renewed depreciation pressure, with the currency falling to the weakest level since November against the dollar.

自2021年禁止加密货币交易和挖矿以来，中国一直在加强对加密领域的控制，担心资本外流和欺诈等风险会威胁其金融体系。最新举措出台之际，人民币面临新一轮贬值压力，对美元汇率已跌至11月以来的最低水平。

Stablecoins are a type of cryptocurrency designed to maintain a steady value, typically by being pegged to an asset like the US dollar. They’re often used as a way to move in and out of crypto trades without using traditional banking systems.

稳定币是一种旨在保持稳定价值的加密货币，通常通过与美元等资产挂钩来实现。它们常被用作在不使用传统银行系统的情况下进出加密交易的方式。

Tether, the world’s largest stablecoin by market value, offers a token pegged to the offshore yuan known as CNHT. The company said in a statement to Bloomberg News that it hasn’t been contacted by Chinese regulators about the token, which has a market value of about $25 million according to CoinGecko.

市值最大的稳定币发行商Tether提供一种与离岸人民币挂钩的代币，称为CNHT。该公司在给彭博社的声明中表示，中国监管机构尚未就该代币与其联系，根据CoinGecko的数据，该代币市值约为2500万美元。

"CNHT was created to service a need in the ecosystem and is not designed to circumvent capital controls," Tether said in the statement.

Tether在声明中表示："CNHT的创建是为了满足生态系统的需求，并非旨在规避资本管制。
