China’s 500 Billion Yuan Investment Targets Innovation

Economic and Technological Impact of China’s Strategic Move

Did you know? During previous government funding rounds in 2018 and 2021, China focused on centralized digital platforms, significantly impacting local tech equities like Binance and Tencent, rather than public blockchains.

According to CoinMarketCap, Ethereum (ETH) trades at $4,239.62, with a market cap of $511,754,883,176. The trading volume fell by 26.32% over 24 hours, marking a price drop of 1.64%. Over 90 days, however, Ethereum recorded a 64.62% increase as of August 21, 2025.

Coincu analysts suggest China’s financial instruments potentially enhance infrastructure layers without directly affecting public-chain assets. Regulatory focus on supervised digital economies remains clear, reducing speculative crypto market exposure.
