For one, Chinese and Chinese-affiliated crypto exchanges still account for most global crypto trading volume if one includes Binance among its ranks.<\/p>\n<p>Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao \u2013 a Canadian citizen who was born in China and moved to Canada at age 12 \u2013 insists that Binance has never been a Chinese company, neither officially nor culturally.<\/p>\n<p>However, a Bloomberg report in May suggested that some Chinese citizens have continued to trade crypto within the country even after the region\u2019s September 2021 ban, including on platforms like Binance and Huobi. Furthermore, regions like Hong Kong are now adopting a pro-crypto regulatory stance, offering licenses to crypto exchanges and providing banking access to the crypto sector.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Binance is currently faced with dual lawsuits from the United States\u2019 chief market regulators that threaten to shut down its exchange business. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has alleged both mishandling of customer assets and securities law violations that voices across the crypto industry still claim there is a lack of legal clarity around. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Coinbase, which fell victim to similar SEC allegations about listing unregistered securities shortly after Binance, has considered moving headquarters to the United Kingdom if it can\u2019t get achieve clarity in court.<\/p>\n<h2>United States V. China On CBDCs<\/h2>\n<p>Aside from the private market, China is far ahead of the United States with progress on its central bank digital currency (CBDC). The Chinese Communist Party\u2019s digital yuan pilot has already been deployed beyond its borders in regions like Peru, Ecuador, and a host of South American nations.<\/p>\n<p>While researching CBDCs, the U.S. Congress is yet to decide whether to issue one, with major opposition to its launch from the Republican isle. Florida governor Ron DeSantis \u2013 now a 2024 presidential hopeful \u2013 has banned CBDC issuance within the state\u2019s borders.<\/p>\n<p>A recent global survey among investment advisors shows that U.S. investors are far less likely (31%) to support CBDCs than China (70%).<\/p>\n<p>Even the crypto mining industry, which China infamously banned in May 2021, still produces over 21% of Bitcoin\u2019s hash rate in China, according to Cambridge\u2019s Bitcoin mining map. The United States is the world leader in this department, hosting 37.84% of the hash rate. \u00a0<br \/>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptonews.com\/news\/us-china-power-struggle-extends-to-crypto-battlefield-china-surges-ahead.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The United States and China are competing on both economic and technological fronts \u2013 and part of their rivalry includes a race to adopt crypto.
