Welcome to blockchain, rejection to digital currency

While China is carefully seeking to eliminate the cryptocurrency industry, state and local authorities are looking for new methods to modernize the blockchain underlying its mechanism.

This month, a little earlier, the Central Council for Internet Affairs, along with seventeen other central departments, including banking, educational, procedural, legal, medical, energy and stock exchanges, jointly issued notices to call on local authorities to the executive branch in different industries to submit prescriptions for a blockchain pilot project, in order to analyze more options for using the new mechanism.

By the way, China is rapidly moving forward in developing its service network based on the "Blockchain Service Network (BSN)" - a nationwide infrastructure program of the public and non-public sectors to encourage large-scale adoption of the blockchain mechanism, and that stimulates the spread of cryptocurrency in the state - the virtual yuan , or e-CNY.
