Taobao has not issued a notice or statement on the matter.

According to the weibo account of biwei wallet, all the blockchain hardware wallets of all brands on the market have been removed from taobao, and products including BITHD, Cobo and other brands show that "baby does not exist" and cannot be purchased. Previously, taobao added a secondary category of "blockchain technology products", which can be listed as "bandwidth-sharing devices" and "digital currency hardware wallet". The current mainstream digital cryptocurrency hardware wallet can be listed and sold on the taobao system.

However, less than a month later, these products were collectively removed from the platform, which may indicate that the relevant supervision of the category is being strengthened or a new strategy is being formulated. Taobao has not issued a notice or statement on the matter.

After checking the taobao page of relevant products, BlockBeats found that some merchants left only the links for payment of freight and products unrelated to the hardware wallet for sale. The previous products showed "baby does not exist" when entered through the taobao link.
