    Report first recorded Oct 16, 17:55

    The Solana Shanghai event was postponed on Friday morning after several law enforcement officers prevented guests from entering the Shangri-La Hotel; the official email cited venue logistics. This follows the Solana Foundation showing off a new Shanghai office just two days prior. CZ questioned if organizers were unaware of local policies, noting a similar disruption occurred less than a year ago in Shenzhen. Mainland China has banned crypto trading since 2021, though blockchain technology remains legal.
