QQ Coin quickly broke through the boundaries of the Tencent platform. People began trading it privately, using it on third-party websites, and even exchanging it for real-world goods and services.

Its price fluctuates with speculation, scarcity, and demand. It is essentially a Meme: half currency, half a product of internet culture. And more importantly—it is completely outside of government regulation. This also caught the attention of the People's Bank of China, which subsequently issued a risk warning and launched an investigation.
