The world’s two largest economies are now at odds — not on trade, not on tariffs — but over crypto.

The U.S. pushes forward with regulated spot trading and institutional adoption, while Beijing doubles down on total prohibition.

Investors are caught in the crossfire. Millions of dollars are moving across borders, seeking safety in jurisdictions with clear rules, away from China’s iron-fisted bans. Experts warn: “We’re entering a Cold War of crypto. The battlefield is digital, the weapons are capital flows, and the stakes are national security.”

Global exchanges are recalibrating. Hedge funds are rewriting strategies. And the rest of the world watches as this geopolitical chess game unfolds — one block at a time.
