A Solana Foundation accelerator event scheduled in Shanghai on Oct. 16 was halted, according to a Techub News brief that cited attendee accounts. People at the venue said multiple law enforcement officers were present and participants were unable to enter. Organizers told attendees that the morning session had been postponed due to venue arrangements, but did not provide a new time.
Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, known as CZ, later commented on X, saying it was unfortunate to see the disruption and questioning whether the organizers understood local policy requirements. He also said Solana events in mainland China had been interrupted before.
The Solana accelerator roadshow in China had been planned to cover four cities: Shanghai, Hangzhou, Shenzhen, and Beijing. The report also pointed to a notice issued by Chinese regulators in February 2026 that reiterated restrictions on cryptocurrency-related business activities. Techub attributed the item to Crypto.news.
