The company has reworked their rules surrounding the digital collectible.

China has not yet announced any clear rules around NFTs but has banned the trading of digital currencies within the country.

Normally, the tokens are bought with cryptocurrency but within China they are paid with the Chinese yuan allowing more regulation.

Some tech companies are therefore restricting secondary trading of NFTs to avoid any potential issues with the government.

WeChat clarified its rules surrounding the tokens through Weibo, a Twitter-like platform in China writing that official accounts can display NFTs but secondary sales are not allowed.

Wall Street plummets as tech stocks and Bitcoin fall, raising concerns about job market and economic stability.

Wall Street took a sharp hit Thursday as technology stocks and Bitcoin plunged, reigniting worries over the job market and global economic stability. Kyle Rodda from Capital.com breaks down how Alphabet and Qualcomm’s earnings may signal broader tech weakness.

Bitcoin’s recent drop also rattled crypto markets, with Coinbase shares falling sharply. Rodda explains how much of the decline is driven by market fundamentals versus shifting investor sentiment, and how rising AI expenditures are affecting investor confidence in tech.

The surge in unemployment claims, coupled with falling bond yields, is prompting concern over overall market stability.
