China’s accelerated progress in blockchain technology

There seems to be a consensus amongst bankers in China that Blockchain will indeed alter the fundamental principles of the financial systems. This will most likely trigger a major impact foundational systems of the existing banking system and relationships between participants.

In December, reports coming from China seemed to indicate that Bank of China had issued close to 20 billion Yuan ($2.8 billion) in Blockchain special bonds to SME’s. These funds are specifically set aside for the SME’s supporting their continued development in the economy.

Notwithstanding, a recent local report confirmed the massive growth in blockchain projects within the country despite ICO and exchanges ban across mainland China. According to the report over 57 new blockchain projects have hailed from China in the past month representing over 110% month on month increase in projects.

The soaring number of companies getting into the field is also frightening as both top and smaller companies are taking up their fair share of the blockchain market. Top firms such as Alibaba, Tencent and Ant Financial are some of the blockchain adoptees in China.
