Interestingly, Chinese cryptocurrencies began attracting investor attention when the regulatory environment stabilized. I decided to explore which projects from the Middle Kingdom truly have real value.

NEO is often called the eastern counterpart to Ethereum—a smart contract platform with government backing. It features an interesting mechanism with two tokens: NEO for governance and GAS for network fees.

VeChain is a completely different level—it's not just a crypto project but a practical tool for large businesses. Walmart, BMW, and PwC use the VeChain blockchain to track supply chains and combat counterfeiting. Plus, its focus on green technologies attracts corporate investors.

Conflux demonstrates what the next-generation Chinese blockchain could look like—3,000 transactions per second is no joke. Moreover, it’s the only public blockchain in China that has received official regulator approval. Integration with traditional business is already underway.

Ontology works on data protection through decentralized identification (DID). It’s already used in healthcare and the financial sector. Compatibility with Ethereum and Polkadot makes it a more flexible solution.

Why should you pay attention to Chinese cryptocurrencies at all? First, a new growth cycle has begun after regulatory changes. Second, these are not just speculative projects—they have real business cases and partnerships. Third, government support provides a certain level of stability.

Personal advice: don’t put all your money into one project. Diversify your portfolio, choose cryptocurrencies with real applications rather than empty promises.
