Hangzhou has published a draft Hangzhou AI Industry Development Promotion Regulation for public comment that proposes support for a token economy. The draft backs firms building token production, trading and settlement, and external service platforms to strengthen the city’s token production, scheduling and allocation capabilities. It also supports development of a token-service consumption market and promotes demonstration and adoption of token services in manufacturing, government, education, healthcare, finance and consumer sectors to deepen integration with the real economy.
