From converting popular public chains like Ethereum and Cosmos into compliant "open permissioned" networks to launching the world's first government-issued DID system, China is quietly rewriting blockchain infrastructure. Yifan shares candid insights on how BSN bundles 12 different blockchain networks into one seamless platform, why Chinese regulators are suddenly paying attention to stablecoins ahead of Hong Kong's licensing regime, and his bold prediction that there's a 50% chance China lifts its crypto ban through a "crypto connect" system similar to Hong Kong Stock Connect.
