China’s NDRC Pledges Macro-Management Role in 15th Five-Year Plan

The NDRC positioning itself as the comprehensive macro-management department signals that the 15th Five-Year Plan will be driven through centralized coordination rather than purely market-led industrial policy. For crypto and RWA markets, the listed priorities — modern industrial system construction and security capacity — hint at where digital infrastructure and tokenization pilots could be folded into state planning, though the statement itself commits to no specifics. Whether this translates into concrete policy language on blockchain or digital assets, rather than remaining at the level of broad governance pledges, is the open question worth tracking.
