Chinese regulators, including the Securities Association of China and the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC), held a meeting in Beijing to promote blockchain technology in the securities industry and discuss regulations.<\/p>\n
In the symposium organized by China Securities Industry Alliance Chain and Off-Site Alliance Chain, the deputy director-general of the Science and Technology Regulatory Bureau of CSRC, Jiang Dongxing, spoke about the consensus of Chinese businesses to digitally transform the securities and futures industry. <\/p>\n
Citing the 14th Five-Year Plan, which details China\u2019s intent to use blockchain technology, Dongxing mentioned that blockchain technology can build a trust mechanism in the network environment, which will be key to the digitization of the securities and futures industry.<\/p>\n
The announcement also states that the Science and Technology Bureau will base the construction of the said blockchain on a two-tier structure: a chain of custody (for tamper-resistant forensic evidence of asset control and transfers) and business (smart contracts and supply chain). <\/p>\n
In addition, Dongxing has asked Chinese businesses to jointly explore and build a blockchain, smart contracts and related regulatory services.<\/p>\n
