Chiยญna Cenยญtral Teleยญviยญsion (CCTV), the nationยญal teleยญviยญsion broadยญcastยญer of Chiยญna, recentยญly aired a video segยญment disยญcussing digยญiยญtal curยญrenยญcy comยญpliยญance in Hong Kong. The segยญment caught the attenยญtion of the crypยญtocurยญrenยญcy comยญmuยญniยญty, includยญing Binance Crypยญto exchange CEO, but surpisยญingยญly the video is removed by CCTV.

The conยญtroยญverยญsial video came into the spotยญlight when Changยญpeng Zhao, the CEO of Binance Crypยญto exchange, retweetยญed it. CZ implied that media covยญerยญage of digยญiยญtal curยญrenยญcies has hisยญtorยญiยญcalยญly trigยญgered posยญiยญtive marยญket trends. He said:
โCovยญerยญages like these led to bull runs.โ
Nonetheยญless, he was quick to clarยญiยญfy that past perยญforยญmance doesnโt guarยญanยญtee future results. Givยญen the present state of the digยญiยญtal curยญrenยญcy ecoยญlogยญiยญcal sysยญtem, CZ believed that such posยญiยญtive tenยญdenยญcy events could serve as a much- required catยญaยญlyst for marยญket recovยญery.
Adding to the intrigue is the revยญeยญlaยญtion that the Solana (SOL) Memeยญcoin SAMO, feaยญtured in the removed video, was involved in pump and dump activยญiยญties. This disยญcovยญery raisยญes conยญcerns about the authenยญticยญiยญty and intenยญtions behind the segยญment, castยญing doubt on its credยญiยญbilยญiยญty.

It seemed to indiยญcate a potenยญtial shift in Chinaโs regยญuยญlaยญtoยญry approach and intiยญmatยญed at a reconยญsidยญerยญaยญtion of its views on digยญiยญtal curยญrenยญcies.

Regardยญless of the reaยญsons behind CCTVโs deciยญsion, this inciยญdent underยญscores the whole lot of role that media covยญerยญage plays in the digยญiยญtal curยญrenยญcy marยญket.
