Country Outlook

China has taken one of the harshest stances on cryptocurrencies in the world, outlawing trading, mining, and private ownership in an effort to reduce financial risks, stop capital flight, and preserve Yuan sovereignty. By introducing its central bank digital currency, the Digital Yuan (e-CNY), which is currently in pilot deployment across major cities, the government simultaneously actively encourages blockchain innovation. Chinese tech companies are pushing for an offshore yuan-backed stablecoin through Hong Kong, where regulators are creating strict compliance and reserve-backed frameworks, even though the use of private cryptocurrency is still prohibited domestically. With strict state oversight, this tactic enables China to stifle domestic cryptocurrency activity while cautiously participating in international digital finance.
