Shanghai to implement blockchain infrastructure by 2025

Shanghai’s government unveiled an implementation plan on July 31 aimed at propelling the growth of its urban blockchain digital infrastructure system from 2023 to 2025.

The plan is designed to drive the city’s digital transformation and bolster blockchain adoption in various sectors, including the economy, public services, and urban governance.

On-chain and cross-chain development

In the website update, authorities share they plan to accelerate the construction of Pujiang digital chain’s urban blockchain digital infrastructure system, having it in full operation by 2025.

By design, the system will offer rapid on-chain and cross-chain deployment capabilities, playing a pivotal role in bolstering various aspects of Shanghai’s operations, including government affairs, public services, and industry applications. 

Their focus is on developing a distributed blockchain open network and dedicated computing power clusters, encompassing the main network, nodes, subnets, data identification, digital payment, and supervision sandbox, among other technical service capabilities. This initiative effectively aims to enhance the security of crucial information infrastructure in urban areas and facilitate the creation of extensive blockchain application scenarios.

Authorities also revealed that the system will play a pivotal role in harmonizing blockchain network resources in the Yangtze River Delta region of China while simultaneously fostering the establishment of an international blockchain exchange hub.

The update further highlights that to bring this to life, the Pujiang digital chain project will be adopting an implementation structure known as “1+1+1+X,” comprising one computing power platform facility, one public basic service platform, one government affairs blockchain application system, and multiple benchmark scene applications.

New blockchain hub

Amid regulatory uncertainty in the United States and several other countries, some Asian regions are attempting to solidify their status as major crypto hubs. The cryptocurrency exchange Gemini made an announcement in June about an Asia expansion after the SEC charged it with the unregistered sale of crypto asset securities. 

While Binance, the world’s largest exchange by volume, is facing struggles in Europe and the US, it is reportedly refocusing its growth to Asia.

Mt. Gox repayment date looming: Is Bitcoin in trouble?

Image
As the Mt. Gox repayment deadline scheduled for October approaches, crypto observers expect a major industry event coming up this fall. While the cryptocurrency community is actively discussing the upcoming Bitcoin (BTC) halving in 2024, there is potentially another big market event happening this year. The trustee of the hacked Bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox is set to finally repay the exchange’s creditors by the end of October 2023. If that happens, the cryptocurrency market could be significantly affected in several ways, some industry observers agree. Founded in 2010, Mt. Gox was once the biggest Bitcoin exchange in the world, estimated to facilitate around 70% of all BTC transactions before its implosion. The now-defunct exchange lost 850,000 BTC — or 4% of all Bitcoin to ever be issued — in a security breach in 2014. The event made Mt. Gox one of the biggest cryptocurrency bankruptcies of all time, with creditors yet to be repaid, nine years later. As the current Mt. Gox repay ment d
