China has published a five-year digital development plan. It sets 2030 as the year the country's national blockchain network should be mostly built. Cointelegraph reported the plan, which came out on Friday, Oct 23, 2026. The article was written by staff editor Yohan Yun.
Beyond the 2030 target, the plan asks for blockchain to be used more widely in trade and manufacturing. It also calls for stronger technical standards for the technology. Those are the only details of the plan given in the report.
The report does not say which blockchains or companies will build the network or what it will cost. It also does not say whether cryptocurrencies or crypto trading play any part in it. Until more of the plan is reported, those questions are open.
For anyone already holding a perpetual futures position on Bitget, Bybit, MEXC or OKX, this changes nothing directly. The plan is about government and industrial infrastructure, and the report does not mention exchanges, derivatives or token markets. Nothing in it changes funding rates, trading fees or order-book liquidity on these venues.
