Under the ban, the number of P2P stablecoin trading wallets in mainland China has surged 43-fold over two years China banned crypto. P2P stablecoin wallets grew 43x in two years. Mainland stablecoin velocity: 33.2 turns per year. Global average is 9.3. The same dollar changing hands 33 times in twelve months is a payment channel, not a store of value. The acceleration started around March 2025, when China extended its social credit system to financial services. Sub-$100 transfers grew 996%. The timing is a working hypothesis. The data is not. Hong Kong pulled $17.4 billion in cumulative institutional net inflows over the same period. Institutional platforms took 16% of service inflows — nearly three times any neighboring market. Same region. Same regulatory pressure. The mainland drove activity underground. Hong Kong became the landing pad for capital that needed a compliant address. Both outcomes were predictable. Both are now priced into where the next wave of institutional flows goes. #DigitalAssets #China #HongKong #M55Capital #USDT
