Shanghai Explores Stablecoins Amid China’s Crypto Ban

Shanghai’s state asset regulator convened a study session on stablecoins and blockchain infrastructure, chaired by He Qing of the Shanghai SASAC. The meeting explored applications for state-owned firms in cross-border trade, supply chain management, and asset digitization. While China maintains its crypto ban, the session suggests a shift toward controlled experimentation with blockchain-based financial tools. Observers describe this as ‘tiered experimentation’ rather than crypto liberalization, with stablecoins viewed as sovereign financial instruments. The move aligns with growing demand for stablecoin infrastructure in Asia, as noted by Phoenix Labs CEO Sam MacPherson. Meanwhile, People’s Bank of China governor Pan Gongsheng recently acknowledged stablecoins’ potential but emphasized regulatory challenges. China’s approach combines top-down control with localized testing, reflecting a cautious yet innovative digital asset strategy.
