Stablecoins in 2025: You're in the Dream of the Red Chamber, I'm in Journey to the West

Stablecoins in 2025: You're in the Dream of the Red Chamber, I'm in Journey to the West

2025 was a year of excitement and division for stablecoins, starting with the US Genius Act's definition of stablecoin compliance, followed by Hong Kong's passage of the Stablecoin Ordinance, which sparked heated discussions about offshore RMB stablecoins and debates about the digital RMB, culminating in the final chapter of stablecoins in mainland China in 2025. Who is in the Dream of the Red Chamber, and who is in Journey to the West? We probably all have the answer in our hearts. However, we need to look beyond the surface to understand the essence. We need to clarify the underlying logic of stablecoins in 2025 and see the future development trends. What has changed fundamentally about stablecoins that have garnered global attention in 2025, and what hasn't actually changed at all? At the 2025 Financial Street Forum Annual Meeting in October, Pan Gongsheng, Governor of the People's Bank of China, stated: "Since 2017, the People's Bank of China, together with relevant departments, has successively issued a number of policy documents to prevent and deal with the risks of domestic virtual currency trading and speculation. These policy documents are still in effect. In the next step, the People's Bank of China will work with law enforcement agencies to continue to crack down on the operation and speculation of domestic virtual currencies, maintain economic and financial order, and at the same time closely monitor and dynamically assess the development of overseas stablecoins." We will focus on: "Policy documents remain in effect" and "Dynamically assess the development of offshore stablecoins". I. Mainland regulators' attitude towards virtual currencies remains unchanged – continued crackdown. 1.1 Mainland China Regulation: The Virtual Currency Nature of Stablecoins Recently, 13 ministries held a meeting to define the legal status of stablecoins under the mainland's regulatory system: http://www.pbc.gov.cn/goutongjiaoliu/113456/113469/5916794/index.html On November 28, 2025, the People's Bank of China convened a meeting of the coordination mechanism for combating speculation in virtual currency trading. Officials from the Ministry of Public Security, the Cyberspace Administration of China, the Central Financial Stability and Development Office, the Supreme People's Court, the Supreme People's Procuratorate, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Justice, the People's Bank of China, the State Administration for Market Regulation, the State Financial Regulatory Commission, the China Securities Regulatory Commission, and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange attended the meeting. The meeting pointed out that in recent years, all units have earnestly implemented the decisions and deployments of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, and in accordance with the requirements of the "Notice on Further Preventing and Handling Risks of Virtual Currency Trading and Speculation" jointly issued by the People's Bank of China and ten other departments in 2021, have resolutely cracked down on virtual currency trading and speculation, rectified the chaos in the virtual currency market, and achieved significant results. Recently, affected by various factors, virtual currency speculation has resurfaced, and related illegal and criminal activities have occurred from time to time, posing new challenges and new situations for risk prevention and control. The meeting emphasized: Virtual currencies do not have the same legal status as legal tender, do not have legal tender status, and should not and cannot be used as currency in the market. Virtual currency-related business activities are illegal financial activities. Stablecoins are a form of virtual currency that currently cannot effectively meet requirements for customer identification and anti-money laundering, and are at risk of being used for illegal activities such as money laundering, fundraising fraud, and illegal cross-border fund transfers. The meeting required all units to adhere to the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, fully implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and its subsequent plenary sessions, regard risk prevention and control as the perpetual theme of financial work, continue to uphold the prohibitive policy on virtual currencies, and persistently crack down on illegal financial activities related to virtual currencies. All units should deepen coordination and cooperation, improve regulatory policies and legal basis, focus on key links such as information flow and capital flow, strengthen information sharing, further enhance monitoring capabilities, severely crack down on illegal and criminal activities, protect the property safety of the people, and maintain the stability of the economic and financial order. 1.2 The attitude of mainland regulators towards virtual currencies remains unchanged. Yesterday's meeting was a concrete implementation of the "Notice on Further Preventing and Handling Risks of Virtual Currency Trading and Speculation" (Yinfa [2021] No. 237) issued in 2021, demonstrating that "the policy document remains valid." https://www.gov.cn/zhengce/zhengceku/2021-10/08/content_5641404.htm Including stablecoins within the category of virtual currencies means that stablecoin/virtual currency-related business activities constitute illegal financial activities. "We will continue to uphold our prohibitive policy towards virtual currencies and persistently crack down on illegal financial activities related to virtual currencies." The rhetoric represents a trend toward stricter enforcement; previously, the descriptions of illegal financial activities involving virtual currencies were illustrative, but now they are direct and general. Although virtual currencies are recognized as "virtual commodities" in China (with their property attributes partially acknowledged in criminal and civil judicial practice), their place of existence as "financial assets" or "settlement tools" has been completely eradicated in mainland China. 1.3 The practitioners remain unchanged – walking on thin ice Although stablecoins have been included in the scope of virtual currencies under the mainland's regulatory framework, let's think back and see what changes this brings to industry practitioners. Actually, no. We are still expanding overseas, still operating within compliance regulations, obtaining licenses in the relevant jurisdictions, and fulfilling the regulatory requirements of various regions. It's still like walking on thin ice. II. The financial infrastructure based on blockchain has changed – dynamically assessing the development of overseas stablecoins The U.S. Genius Grant Act provides a clear definition for stablecoins: "Payment stablecoins" are digital currencies that rely on distributed ledgers, are pegged to national fiat currencies, and are used for payments and settlements. Let's set aside for now the various forms of digital currency: stablecoins, deposit tokens, and CBDCs. What has changed? — The ledgers on which assets are based have changed, becoming more efficient, more convenient, and more globalized. This is what Europe and America are flocking to; it's what Blackrock's CEO stated: "asset tokenization" will lead the next financial revolution; it's the Federal Reserve's "historic" meeting where they actively discussed embracing this innovation; it's the direction of Nasdaq's transformation: tokenized trading, tokenized IPOs, and 24/7 trading. This is also a point that mainland regulators need to dynamically assess – the financial infrastructure based on blockchain, regardless of what kind of digital assets are running on it. 2.1 Starting from the origins of blockchain As Dr. Xiao said, we need to start from the origin of blockchain, from first principles, and from the basics, to examine the currently hotly debated digital currencies/crypto assets, the crypto market, and the blockchain technology behind them. What is the essence of finance? It is the mismatch of value across time and space. This essence has remained unchanged for millennia. Blockchain-based new finance can greatly improve the efficiency of finance: Transcending time. This is reflected in two aspects: firstly, the time value of money; and secondly, transactions and settlements. Cross-space. Globally, value allocation across spaces. The way value is transferred. Just as the essential attributes (measure of value) and core function (medium of exchange) of money remain unchanged, despite the evolution of its various forms and manifestations such as shells, tokens, cash, deposits, electronic money, and stablecoins, the essence of finance remains the same. The key question is how to provide better financial services in a distributed, digitalized, and time-transcending context. 2.2 New Financial Infrastructure Compared to traditional finance, the biggest innovation of new finance lies in the change in the way accounting is done—the blockchain, a transparent and publicly accessible global public ledger. Humanity's accounting methods have only changed three times in thousands of years, each profoundly shaping economic forms and social structures, and each breakthrough reflecting the co-evolution of technology and civilization. The single-entry bookkeeping system of the Sumerian period (around 3500 BC) enabled humanity to overcome the limitations of oral communication for the first time, promoting early trade and the formation of states, as it necessitated the recording of taxes and trade. Commercial dispute clauses appeared in the ancient Babylonian Code of Hammurabi. Double-entry bookkeeping played a significant role in the commercial revolution of the Renaissance (14th-15th centuries). The prosperity of trade among Mediterranean city-states, the investment of Genoa's fleet, and the Medici family's transnational bank all required complex financial instruments, which in turn spurred the emergence of banks and multinational corporations and the establishment of commercial credit. What followed was the distributed ledger technology we are familiar with, which was driven by Bitcoin in 2009, leading to decentralized finance, changes in trust mechanisms, and the rise of digital currencies. This new financial system, revolutionized by distributed ledger technology, is inextricably linked to blockchain, smart contracts, digital wallets, and programmable currencies. Blockchain, as the ledger settlement layer of financial infrastructure, was initially designed to solve the problem of eventual consistency in payment clearing. The combination of digital currencies built on distributed ledgers and smart contracts can bring limitless possibilities to the new financial system: near-instantaneous settlement, 24/7 availability, low transaction costs, and the programmability, interoperability, and composability with DeFi inherent in digital currency tokens themselves. Therefore, the new finance mainly presents three major changes: First, the accounting method has changed from centralized double-entry bookkeeping to decentralized distributed bookkeeping; Second, the account changes from a bank account to a digital wallet; Third, the accounting unit has changed from legal tender to digital currency. The most important distributed ledger emerged because of its digital characteristics that span time, space, and organization. 2.3 The dramatic changes in financial infrastructure Therefore, regardless of the various forms of digital currency—stablecoins, deposit tokens, CBDCs—the financial infrastructure based on blockchain has undergone a radical transformation. What seeds have been sown here? What makes digital currency unique is that it sits at the intersection of three massive markets: payments, lending, and capital markets. Not to mention the value channel of the future AI-based silicon civilization. Despite the wave of deglobalization caused by geopolitical factors, we will still be brought together by the unified ledger of blockchain, and you will find that the world really is flat. Just like the book says: "We wanted transoceanic planes, but we invented Zoom instead." III. In Conclusion In fact, the key points that "policy documents remain valid" and "dynamically assess the development of overseas stablecoins" still provide us with guidance. Although the reality of stablecoins in 2025 may seem surreal, like "you're in the Dream of the Red Chamber, I'm in Journey to the West." "I am on the journey to the West" is about leaving home, spiritual practice, the obsession with overcoming the eighty-one tribulations, and the ambition to explore the next generation of financial infrastructure. In 2008, Modern Sky released a music compilation album called "You Are in the Dream of the Red Chamber, I Am in Journey to the West", which was inspired by "Dream of the Red Chamber" and "Journey to the West" and reinterpreted classic songs, forming a cultural dialogue between classical and modern, East and West, and fantasy and reality. You go on your journey through the mortal world, while I embark on my long and arduous journey. But in the end, we may all arrive at the same destination by different paths.

Essential Alert: Binance Adds 5 Tokens Including SXP to Its Monitoring List

Essential Alert: Binance Adds 5 Tokens Including SXP to Its Monitoring List

BitcoinWorld Essential Alert: Binance Adds 5 Tokens Including SXP to Its Monitoring List In a significant move for market integrity, Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, has placed five new digital assets under its microscope. The exchange announced the addition of SXP, CHESS, DENT, DF, and GHST to its monitoring list. This action directly impacts traders and signals the platform’s ongoing commitment to a secure trading environment. But what does landing on this list actually mean for a token’s future? Let’s break it down. What Is the Binance Monitoring List and Why Does It Matter? Think of the Binance monitoring list as an observatory for digital assets. Tokens placed here are not delisted; instead, Binance flags them for closer scrutiny. The exchange evaluates them against a set of rigorous criteria, including trading volume, liquidity, network stability, and team commitment. Therefore, this process acts as an early warning system for the community, highlighting potential risks before they escalate. For traders, this is crucial information. A token on the monitoring list may face higher volatility or eventual removal if it fails to meet Binance’s standards. The primary goal is transparency. By proactively identifying tokens that may be underperforming or risky, Binance empowers users to make more informed decisions. Which 5 Tokens Are Now Under the Spotlight? The latest batch added to the Binance monitoring list includes a mix of projects from different sectors of the crypto ecosystem. Here is a quick overview of each token: SXP (Swipe): The native token of the Swipe Wallet and a core asset for the SXP ecosystem. CHESS: The governance token for the Tranchess protocol, a yield-enhancing asset management platform. DENT: Powers the DENT Wireless platform, focused on mobile data and eSIM services. DF: The token for dForce, a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol offering lending and synthetic assets. GHST: The utility token for Aavegotchi, a DeFi-enabled NFT gaming universe. Their inclusion does not imply wrongdoing. However, it indicates that Binance has observed metrics that warrant a formal review period for these specific assets. What Are the Potential Outcomes for Listed Tokens? Being on the Binance monitoring list is a critical juncture for any project. The outcome typically follows one of two paths. First, and most favorably, the project team can address the concerns raised by Binance. This could involve boosting network activity, increasing development updates, or improving community engagement. If successful, the token is removed from the list and continues trading normally. Conversely, if a token fails to show sufficient progress or its fundamentals deteriorate further, Binance may proceed with delisting. This action usually leads to a sharp decline in liquidity and price for the token. Consequently, projects on the list often work diligently to reassure their communities and demonstrate their long-term viability. How Should Traders and Investors React? If you hold any of these five tokens, don’t panic. The key is to stay informed and assess your position rationally. Here are actionable steps to consider: Review Project Updates: Closely follow the official channels of the affected projects for their response and action plan. Assess Your Risk Tolerance: Evaluate if holding a token under review aligns with your investment strategy. Monitor Trading Activity: Be prepared for possible increased volatility as the market digests this news. Diversify: This event underscores the importance of not over-concentrating your portfolio in a single asset. Remember, the Binance monitoring list is a tool for risk management, not a final verdict. Savvy investors use this information to conduct deeper due diligence. Conclusion: A Proactive Step for a Maturing Market Binance’s decision to add SXP, CHESS, DENT, DF, and GHST to its monitoring list reflects the exchange’s vital role as a market steward. This proactive measure enhances ecosystem health by encouraging project accountability and providing clear risk signals to users. Ultimately, such practices are essential for building sustainable trust in the cryptocurrency industry. While it presents a challenge for the involved projects, it also offers them a clear opportunity to demonstrate their resilience and commitment to their users. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Q1: Does being on the Binance monitoring list mean the token will be delisted?A: Not necessarily. It is a warning that the token is under review. Delisting only occurs if the project fails to improve and meet Binance’s listing criteria during the monitoring period. Q2: Can I still trade tokens on the monitoring list?A: Yes, trading for these tokens continues normally on Binance unless a formal delisting announcement is made. Q3: How long does a token typically stay on the monitoring list?A: There is no fixed timeframe. The duration depends on how quickly the project addresses Binance’s concerns and the subsequent re-evaluation by the exchange. Q4: What are the main reasons a token gets added to this list?A: Common reasons include low trading volume and liquidity, weak development activity, network instability, or lack of communication from the project team. Q5: Where can I check the official Binance monitoring list?A: You can find the official and updated monitoring list on the Binance Announcements page or within their support documentation. Q6: Should I immediately sell a token that appears on the list?A: This is a personal decision based on your risk assessment. It is advisable to research the project’s response and future plans before making any hasty trading decisions. Found this breakdown of the Binance monitoring list update helpful?
