China is poised for significant growth in its Artificial Intelligence (AI) sector by 2025, with over 5,300 AI enterprises expected to operate, representing a substantial 15% of the global market. This expansion is fueled by government investments and infrastructure development aimed at boosting China’s digital transformation efforts. Notably, this growth hasn’t translated into noticeable impacts on major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum as of October 2025. Despite these advancements, industry leaders have acknowledged their impact. Xin Guobin, Vice Minister of MIIT, highlighted the country’s investments in smart factories and AI innovation zones. Meanwhile, Wan Gang of the China Association for Science and Technology emphasized utilizing China’s abundant data resources to drive further progress. Current market reactions suggest continued confidence in China’s commitment to AI while crypto-focused leaders remain unmoved on any immediate impact.
