TREE NEWS update: China has set a 2030 target for its national blockchain network, prioritizing trade and finance applications in the Yangtze River Delta and industrial uses in the Chengdu-Chongqing region. The plan also maintains existing restrictions on cryptocurrency business. No further details on funding or governance were disclosed.
China Sets 2030 Target for National Blockchain Network
The significance lies in the state-directed, region-specific approach: trade and finance applications are being concentrated in the Yangtze River Delta while industrial uses are assigned to Chengdu-Chongqing, suggesting a coordinated rather than market-led buildout. The explicit retention of cryptocurrency business restrictions draws a clear line between permitted enterprise blockchain and digital assets. With funding and governance left undisclosed, the open question is whether the 2030 target comes with the institutional backing needed to move from regional pilots to a functioning national network.
