CryptoKitties will reach China's smartphones despite government regulations

The viral CriptoKitties seek to invade China's smartphones despite the strong government regulations that have emerged against cryptoactives in the country, with an application that will be called "My Lian Mao".

It was recently announced that the members of the Canadian company Axiom Zen, developers of the game Cryptokitties, signed an agreement with an Asian company to bring the game to China. The name of the latter is Animoca Brands, a Hong Kong company that since 2011 specializes in creating applications for smartphones and tablets.

According to the spokesman of the Cryptokitties Benny Giang to an electronic medium, it is expected that "My Lian Mao" will reach the market in the Lunar New Year or the Spring Festival, as it is known in the country. This 2018 the festival will be celebrated on Friday, February 16th. After the launch in China, the application can also be used in smartphones around the world, although the date for this has not yet been specified.

Giang also said that while this important party lasts, the new Crytokitties, based on smart Ethereum contracts, that will enter the market will be related to the new year and even one of the "elegant cats" will wear the Lion Dance attire, a Traditional dance of Chinese culture. Likewise, a kitten that will be equal to a golden dragon will be incorporated.

According to the spokesman, the application will also integrate a portfolio in its interface, but will not provide any information on how to change fiduciary currencies to ether, the currency with which the crypto-deals are traded. "We want to make sure we avoid any potential regulations that may arise."

This measure has been taken by the team before the increasing regulations of the Chinese government. This weekend was prohibited all trade of foreign and domestic exchange houses in the Asian country. In addition, in the middle of the month, it was announced that a regulatory framework will soon be published to control the operations of the cryptoactives in the country and thus be able to lift the strong prohibitions that were also built against the Initial Currency Offers (ICO) in the month of September.

The CryptoKitties have given much to talk about since its launch in November last year, when in just one month, they came to be worth 5 thousand dollars in ether. In the same way, they became such a viral game in Ethereum that in December they were responsible for 15% of the transactions made with this blockchain.
