💠 China’s Shanghai Digital Yuan Hub

What’s happening

• The People’s Bank of China opened a new center in Shanghai for cross-border payments, blockchain services, and digital asset operations.

• The move is part of Beijing’s push to expand the digital yuan and reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar in trade.

Why it matters for crypto

• A state-backed digital yuan with cross-border reach could compete directly with stablecoins but heavy state control raises questions about openness and access.

• It highlights how CBDCs are becoming a global force that crypto projects must adapt to.

What to watch: How widely the yuan hub is adopted in trade, whether China links it to yuan-backed stablecoins, and how crypto players in Asia choose to respond.
