Secondly, the idea of cryptocurrency goes directly against the ideology of Communist party of China. So I don't see China taking over as a crypto leader anytime in the future. However, countries like Singapore can become the powerhouse of cryptocurrency business and then Dubai can take over the 2nd spot. Not China.
I very much disagree that NFT will die down sooner. It has the potential to have financial value similar to cryptocurrency and not only that, it also has cultural value for the community that own and hold them. I would also argue that because of the regulators in America are presently going after tokens and classifying them as illegal securities, some investments in tokens might go to NFT.
Also, I am not quite certain if you are updated with the news, however, China has been opening up on the cryptospace again. I have been sharing news all over the forum about this.
