OKCoin is the largest Bitcoin exchange in China which processes 31 percent of trades within the Chinese Bitcoin exchange market. In February, OKCoin and Huobi, the two largest Bitcoin exchanges in China, were flagged by the People’s Bank of China for operating a trading platform without appropriate Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) systems.
And the reaction is positive...
The OKCoin trading platform’s withdrawal resumption acting as a catalyst to trigger the interest and demand for Bitcoin from local investors. Currently, Bitcoin is being traded in China at a premium rate, which the global market hasn’t seen since last year.
The global average Bitcoin price at the time of reporting is $2,300 and traders within the Chinese Bitcoin exchange market is trading Bitcoin at over $2,340, around $50 higher than that of the US. In comparison to South Korea, which is demonstrating a $400 premium, the premium rate of the Chinese market is significantly small. However, the recovery of the Chinese Bitcoin exchange market is a positive sign of growth and recovery for the global market.
Due to extensive mainstream media coverage of Bitcoin as digital gold in China, the demand for Bitcoin within the country and amongst local traders has already been on the rise.

As CoinTelegraph concludes, the resumption of withdrawals by OKCoin will further fuel the growth of the Bitcoin market in China and when the People’s Bank of China completes the final regulatory framework on Bitcoin by this month, the Chinese market will stabilize and Bitcoin price will likely increase as a result.
Thank you China

Here is another play to consider, I think this Bitcoin related stock will be significantly higher, it already is since I penned this quick report as a Bitcoin stock speculation. Would sincerely love to hear your input. I tried to warn people of the risks, while at the same time point out the potential as these cryptos keep exploding higher, as there really are very few 'crypto stocks' out there, this may prove a unique opportunity.
