The People’s Daily newspaper, published by China’s ruling Communist Party, has urged investors to keep calm as blockchain-related stocks jumped after Chinese President Xi Jinping publicly supported the technology last week.
“Blockchain’s future is here but we must remain rational,” said the newspaper in a commentary late on Monday, as reported by Reuters. The People’s Daily added that Xi’s support for blockchain technology does not equate support for cryptocurrencies.
“The rise of blockchain technology was accompanied by that of cryptocurrencies, but innovation in blockchain technology does not mean we should speculate in virtual currencies,” said the newspaper.
The commentary sent the Shenzhen Stock Exchange Information Technology Index 2.8% down, the biggest drop in a month, according to a Bloomberg report. Yesterday, over 60 blockchain-related stocks surged by 10%, the daily limit, after the president said China should take a leading position in blockchain development.
