On August 24, 2016, Bloomberg reported that China imposed limits on peer-to-peer lending, citing authorities’ concern over defaults and fraud among the nation’s 2,349 online lenders. Specifically, Bloomberg reported that under the new regulations, lenders are barred from taking public deposits or selling wealth-management products, and must appoint qualified banks as custodians and improve information disclosure. Bloomberg also reported that individual borrowing is now limited to 1 million yuan ($150,000) from peer-to-peer websites, including a maximum of 200,000 yuan from any one site.

On this news, Yirendai’s share price fell $6.92 per share, or 22%, to close at $24.52 per share on August 24, 2016, on unusually heavy trading volume.
