The First Legal Freezing of Digital RMB in China: A New Milestone in Enforcement

According to reports, recently, the People’s Court of Hanshan District, Handan City, Hebei Province lawfully froze the digital RMB in the account of a person being executed during the execution process, which is the first time in the Handan Court. This case is a private lending case. After the judgment of the Hanshan District Court came into effect, the defendant Hao delayed in fulfilling his judgment obligations, and the applicant for enforcement applied to the people’s court for compulsory enforcement. Recently, the Hanshan Court received a clue that the executed person Hao may have received digital RMB in his name. The executing police immediately went to the bank to inquire and found that the person being executed had indeed opened a new bank account and had a digital currency of 30000 yuan in the card. After confirming with the bank that it belongs to the property of the executed person, the enforcement police of the Hanshan District Court immediately made a freezing ruling.
