China still casts a long shadow over crypto—even though it “banned” it years ago. The infrastructure they built (I’m looking at you, mining gear) didn’t vanish—it just moved. Chinese firms still dominate blockchain hardware and mining implementations across Asia.
Rumor of new crypto-friendly digital yuan pilots? Markets felt it immediately. XRP spiked. Bitcoin shuffled. That’s the power of the Chinese ecosystem—mostly invisible, but always influential.
Here’s a little secret: institutional money can’t resist a spot exchange or DEX that sidelines regulations. A lot of that originates from Chinese capital, even if it’s passing through global exchanges first.
Key insight: If you’re investing, you need to peek behind that Great Firewall—not for hype, but to anticipate where real capital and tech trends are heading. Watch China’s shifts closely—even when the rest of the world writes them off.
