⭐️ Just Good to Know: China's crypto pivot from a mining ban to a digital yuan and Hong Kong crypto sandbox

China’s relationship with crypto in 2025 may seem paradoxical: a firm ban on decentralized cryptocurrencies within its borders, yet a cautious willingness to observe and learn from controlled digital-asset experiments taking place in Hong Kong.

🔥 Key points:

• China once dominated in global Bitcoin mining and centralized exchanges but regulatory bans quickly reduced its dominance in the industry.

• The majority of mining operations and centralized exchanges in China shifted off-shore, with many of them still dominant today around the world.

• Following the passing of the GENIUS Act in the US strengthening dollar-backed stablecoins, China has emphasized development of the digital yuan to reduce reliance on the US dollar.

• Analysts describe Hong Kong as a regulatory sandbox within the PRC’s “One Country, Two Systems” structure, with Hong Kong’s 2025 Stablecoin Ordinance serving as a bridge between Mainland China’s strict controls and global crypto innovation.
