China’s Central Cyberspace Affairs Commission issued a plan on 23 October 2026 targeting the broad completion of a national blockchain network by 2030. The network is not complete, and the plan sets a target rather than reporting a finished project.
The plan calls for deeper blockchain use in trade and finance in the Yangtze River Delta and deployment at scale in manufacturing and agriculture in the Chengdu–Chongqing region. It also calls for stronger technical standards and wider use in data circulation and trading. Mainland China bans cryptocurrency-related business activities but promotes blockchain technology.
