Editor's Note: This article introduces multiple DeFi protocols in the HyperEVM ecosystem, covering protocols such as Felix, Mizu Labs, Drip.Trade, HyperSwap, which offer opportunities for staking, liquidity mining, and airdrop rewards. By participating in these protocols, users can earn multiple rewards and ecosystem points, and potentially receive future token allocations. The HyperEVM ecosystem demonstrates significant potential, with the value of early activities being underestimated, providing users who missed the first airdrop with a second chance.

The following is the original content (slightly reorganized for better comprehension):

Unless you've completely disconnected from the crypto community, you must have noticed: Hyperliquid is everywhere. This is one of the few projects that has precisely executed its TGE strategy, creating significant wealth and maintaining ecosystem growth momentum.

While most traders have focused on the perpetual contract layer, which has indeed found product-market fit and built one of the most active "follower communities" in crypto, the expanding application layer around HyperEVM is often overlooked. The real opportunity lies here.

Castle has covered the core of Hyperliquid in this analysis:

Hyperliquid Ecosystem Ultimate Mining Guide, Seize the Early Participation Opportunity

This guide will delve into the mining gameplay forming around HyperEVM, including its evolution, who is most likely to receive rewards, and how to proactively position oneself in the early stages.

What Happened, and What's Next?


@hyperliquidx's inaugural airdrop in November 2024 became a historic event, distributing 31% of its total token supply to over 90,000 users. The token's initial price was $3.20, peaking at $34. This airdrop reached a peak value of over $10.5 billion, becoming one of the largest wealth transfers in crypto history.


The current opportunity is immense and still in its early stages. HyperEVM has been launched, the core protocol is up and running, and various reward systems are incentivizing user behavior.


The overall ecosystem's liquidity is still thin, which often presents the best opportunity to maximize gains. Hyperliquid has distributed 31% of the total supply so far, with another 39% yet to be allocated. Based on current valuation, this means that nearly $4 billion in $HYPE could still be distributed to future participants.

And it's not just about $HYPE itself. Native protocols like @KittenswapHype, @HyperLendx, and @HypurrFi are also running their own reward programs, enabling participants to earn rewards for their actions now and potentially stack rewards from future ecosystem incentives.

The market has not fully caught on yet. Overall participation is still relatively low, attention is scattered, and few have honed in on precise strategies. If this cycle unfolds similarly to the previous one, the earliest and most active participants will reap the greatest rewards.

So, who is most likely to benefit next?


Looking at the history and current state of Hyperliquid, several key groups are worth paying attention to:

· Perpetual contract traders maintaining stable trading volume and continued activity

· Users holding Hyperliquid's native NFTs

· "Protocol farmers" engaged in activities within the HyperEVM protocol (such as lending, providing liquidity, borrowing, etc.)

Considering these factors, here are the top 10 mining opportunities currently in the Hyperliquid ecosystem.

1. KittenSwap – ve(3,3) Model DEX for HyperEVM - @kittenswaphype

KittenSwap is the flagship DeX on HyperEVM, utilizing a ve(3,3) model similar to Velodrome and Solidly. It supports stablecoin and volatile token pairs and rewards long-term users through fee sharing, reward programs, and governance mechanisms.

As the DEX with the highest volume and TVL in the ecosystem, KittenSwap is the core hub of HyperEVM liquidity. Many new protocols choose to launch tokens here or create stablecoin pairs.

KittenSwap has recently launched a centralized liquidity pool that allows for custom price ranges and has temporarily increased the points multiplier. Some trading pairs are currently receiving up to a 20x points multiplier (such as LHYPE/HYPE and USDXL/HYPE), while the standard pool multiplier has been reduced. This indicates that the protocol will lean more towards supporting centralized liquidity in the future.

Mining Strategy


Adding liquidity to high-yield pools—focus on pools with high multipliers, such as PURR/HYPE, LHYPE/HYPE, and USDXL. Avoid pools with excessively high total locked value that dilutes rewards.


Stake LP tokens to earn points—after adding liquidity, stake your LP tokens on KittenSwap to earn points. Points are updated weekly and determine your allocation in future token distributions.


Boost earnings with MechaCats NFTs—holding MechaCats NFTs provides a points boost:
1–9 NFTs = 1.25x
100–199 = 1.4x
500 and above = 1.5x


MechaCats holders will also ensure a 3% veKITTEN allocation at token launch.

2. HypurrFi – Leveraged Lending and Stablecoin Yield - @hypurrfi

@HypurrFi is a leveraged lending platform on HyperEVM and is also the issuer of the native overcollateralized stablecoin USDXL. Users can borrow USDXL by collateralizing $HYPE or stHYPE while still earning interest on the collateralized assets.

The protocol invests its revenue into a tokenized US Treasury bond reserve to enhance the long-term stability and asset backing of USDXL.

Mining Strategy

· Deposit $HYPE → Borrow USDXL
Simplest mining method: maintain exposure to HYPE while leveraging USDXL for other yield opportunities.

· Add borrowed USDXL to liquidity pool
You can pair the borrowed USDXL with HYPE, LHYPE, or feUSD on KittenSwap or HyperSwap to earn high points multipliers.

·Hold or Lend USDXL
Simply holding or lending USDXL may also result in future rewards from the protocol or ecosystem.

According to HypurrFi, early users are typically able to receive the best rewards, even if points are not displayed at that time. The platform tracks user behavior in the background, including actions such as borrowing, providing liquidity, or transferring USDXL, all of which may participate in multiple incentive activities.

The points system is now live and regularly updated, making it one of the simplest mining strategies on the HyperEVM.

3. HyperLend – Lending Infrastructure, Points System Now Live - @hyperlendx

@HyperLendx is a major lending protocol on HyperEVM, supporting core assets such as HYPE, stHYPE, LHYPE, and USDXL. It is not only a standalone money market but also provides liquidity infrastructure for other protocols including @Harmonixfi, @Mizulabs, and @Felixprotocol throughout the ecosystem.

The public points program launched on April 7, 2025, includes weekly rewards and an XP-based compounding system.

Points are related to lending, daily active behavior, and social referrals, automatically displayed on the wallet dashboard without the need for manual claiming.

Mining Strategy

·Deposit Assets Early
Deposit assets such as HYPE, LHYPE, or USDXL immediately at the start of a new cycle.
The protocol has a TVL limit, and the later you enter, the more points decrease.

·Borrow to Increase Point Weight
Borrowing operations can increase reward weight, even small positions can help.
You can collateralize HYPE or LHYPE to borrow stablecoins while retaining spot exposure.

·Activate XP Daily Cycle
Holding ≥100 points and depositing ≥$50 in assets allows for daily XP claiming.
XP will compound within a week, eventually converting into additional points.

·Activate All Available Bonuses

Testnet participants will receive a permanent points multiplier bonus.

Users holding @HypioHL NFTs will receive additional points (NFTs with HyperLend attributes will receive a higher bonus).

The social referral system opens up to a 13-layer invitation relationship, with additional points based on the inviter's performance.

· Overlay Other Protocol Yields
You can add USDXL or LHYPE borrowed from HyperLend to @KittenSwaphype or @HypurrFi to stack rewards across multiple protocols. You can also deposit the newly listed uBTC to earn HyperLend points and rewards from HyperUnit.

HyperLend follows a "set and observe" strategy, requiring low-frequency operations once set up. The main tasks are to time the entry correctly, claim XP daily, and occasionally rebalance based on reward changes.

4. Felix Protocol – Stablecoin Yield + Liquidation Mining - @felixprotocol

@Felixprotocol is the first native stablecoin protocol on HyperEVM, allowing users to mint feUSD by collateralizing HYPE. It offers two main revenue paths: staking feUSD in the stability pool for liquidation rewards or using feUSD in various liquidity pools to earn additional points.

As a foundation module of DeFi, the Felix protocol helps users leverage, take risks, and transfer funds between lending protocols and DEXs. Its points system will officially launch on April 13, 2025, at 12:00 PM UTC.

Mining Strategy

· Collateralize HYPE → Mint feUSD
feUSD is an overcollateralized stablecoin designed for ecosystem-wide use.

· Stake feUSD in the stability pool
These pools support the liquidation mechanism.
When a collateral position is liquidated, participants can receive HYPE at a discounted price and share in some protocol earnings.

· Add liquidity on KittenSwap or HyperSwap
For example, trading pairs like feUSD/USDXL and feUSD/HYPE usually come with a bonus from the partner ecosystem.

·Focus on Multi-Protocol Integration
Felix has integrated with HyperLend and is usable in the Mizu automated yield treasuries.
Using feUSD across multiple protocols may unlock stacking incentives.

Felix is a clean strategy that puts idle HYPE to work, allowing users to simultaneously benefit from protocol rewards, liquidation bonuses, and ecosystem points distribution for multiple streams of income.

5.Mizu Labs – Automated HyperEVM Mining Tool

@MizuLabs is a yield aggregator in the HyperEVM ecosystem focusing on automated mining. It offers hypeETH and hypeBTC treasuries (both are liquidity-wrapped tokens bridging ETH and BTC) and deploys these assets to high-yield protocols like HyperLend, HypurrFi, Felix, Harmonix, and more.

This protocol is ideal for users looking to participate in HyperEVM mining without the need to rotate funds frequently or manually track points. Mizu automatically optimizes yield, accumulates points, and integrates rewards for users through a unified treasury.

Mining Strategy

·Deposit ETH or BTC → Receive hypeETH or hypeBTC
Mizu offers a guided bridging and wrapping process where native assets must first be converted to hypeETH/hypeBTC to enter the treasury.

·Deposit hypeETH or hypeBTC into Mizu Treasury
After deposit, Mizu automatically deploys assets to multiple protocols to maximize yield and point accrual.

·Earn Overlay Rewards
The Mizu Treasury can concurrently earn rewards from up to eight protocols, including Hyperbeat, Harmonix, HypurrFi, Timeswap, and HyperLend. Royco Markets also reserves 1–2% distribution quotas of various tokens for Mizu users.

Mizu is a passive mining strategy suitable for ETH/BTC holders, providing easy access to HyperEVM, multi-protocol stacking rewards, and minimal manual intervention.

6.Drip.Trade – Native NFT Marketplace + Future Airdrop Potential

@drip__trade is a primary NFT marketplace on HyperEVM, hosting native series such as @HypioHL, MechaCats, @HypersonHL, associated with point boosts, airdrops, and whitelists. Most NFT projects on HyperEVM will launch here or use Drip for secondary liquidity trading.

Although an official token has not yet been released, the website already has a "Reward" label, and multiple series have hinted that active users and holders will receive future airdrops.

Mining Strategy

· Purchase and hold key series
Start with Hypios (used for boosts in HyperLend), MechaCats (multiple rewards on KittenSwap and 3% of $KITTEN supply), and Hypers (Drip's flagship project). These series have historically received whitelist allocations and token distributions through partnership agreements.

· Stay active
Regularly trade, list, and delist as market activity may impact future airdrop eligibility.

7. Hyperbeat - @0xhyperbeat

@0xHyperBeat, as a validator and ecosystem fund, focuses on staking, rewards, and long-term integration with Hyperliquid. Through vault deployment, it provides users exposure to various projects and, through Hearts (points) rewards, may lead to future token distributions.

As a way to enter early-stage protocols on HyperEVM without frequent fund rotation, HyperBeat streamlines the mining process.

Mining Strategy

· Stake HYPE with HyperBeat's validator
Accumulate Hearts over time, providing rewards based on weekly snapshots.

· Deposit into Royco Markets vault


Choose one of the following options:

 HyperETH vault for ETH → Exposure to 15+ partnered protocol tokens

 HyperBTC Treasury for BTC

 HyperUSD Treasury for Stablecoin (with over $11 million TVL)

· Earn Stack Rewards
Earn Hearts and points from collaborating protocols like HyperLend, HypurrFi, Harmonix, Timeswap, Silhouette with a single deposit.

· No Active Mining Required
Funds auto-route, and rewards automatically follow as new protocols join.

Hyperbeat is a passive mining method that combines validator staking and multi-protocol treasury, allowing users to mine on HyperEVM with a one-time setup.

8. HyperSwap – Low Slippage DEX, Deep Ecosystem Integration @hyperswapx

@HyperSwapX, as a low slippage AMM on HyperEVM, positioned as a lightweight, streamlined alternative to KittenSwap, optimizes for fast execution, low TVL mining, and eco-partner activations.

The protocol's active point plan distributes 2.5 million points within 5 weeks (500k weekly) allocated through usage, LP provision, and integration with over 20 collaborating protocols. Weekly snapshots occur every Sunday 10 PM PST.

Mining Strategy


Provide liquidity and stake LP tokens
Provide liquidity on HyperSwap and stake LP tokens directly. Points are allocated based on pool size, duration, and trading volume, with longer staking periods earning a larger share.

Regular Trading
Trade weekly on HyperSwap, especially within partnered token pools, to earn activity-based points.

Mine Ecosystem Pools
Certain pairs offer additional rewards: USDXL, feUSD, KEI, LHYPE, stHYPE, uBTC/uETH. Providing liquidity for these pools earns points from both HyperSwap and collaborating protocols simultaneously.

Stacking Additive Rewards
Users holding Hypio NFTs, Buddy tokens, CatCabal, PiP, and other assets can earn weekly points if they are active on HyperSwap.

Referral System
Inviting new users can earn them 10% of the points generated through their trades and LP provision.

HyperSwap is tailored for small LPs and cross-protocol farmers. Due to its reward mechanism based solely on usage, without an NFT or veToken mechanism, it maintains simplicity and scalability.

9. Looped HYPE - @looped_hype

@Looped_HYPE wraps $HYPE into LHYPE, a rebasing token designed for passive leverage without liquidation or fee tracking. It can earn enhanced staking rewards and integrates with top protocols on HyperEVM. Looped HYPE also introduced a structured early user program, allocating 7% of its total token supply to those minting and holding LHYPE to support its use in DeFi positions.

Mining Strategy


Mint LHYPE on the official website, avoiding exchanges. Only direct minters or those used through supported integrations are eligible for the early user program.

Participate in Phase Two (live now)

Allocation: 3% of total token supply

Cap: 2M HYPE

Hold LHYPE for ≥8 weeks
Hold LHYPE in the following places: native wallet, AMM pool (KittenSwap, HyperSwap, Laminar), or lending protocol (Felix, Timeswap).

Provide LHYPE liquidity in the ecosystem
@KittenswapHype offers a 20x multiplier in its pool. HyperSwap incorporates LHYPE into its points system. Holding LHYPE also counts towards activities in Mizu, Harmonix, and HypurrFi.

No active management needed
Once deployed in DeFi, LHYPE will continue to rebase and mine across chains automatically.

$HYPE Staking
Staking $HYPE on Hyperliquid is a low-effort way to earn rewards and potentially qualify for future airdrops from Hyperliquid and its partner protocols. Validators like HypurrCollective x Nansen have already secured multiple airdrops for their stakers, including:

SENT(SENTIIENTAI)-2120K Allocated

TIME(TIMESWAP)-0.5 100K

These airdrops are typically distributed in tiers based on the staking amount.

Staking Strategy

· Visit the Hyperliquid staking page

· Transfer $HYPE from your spot account to your staking account

· Delegate to a validator (e.g., HypurrCollective x Nansen)

· Earn staking rewards and unlock airdrop eligibility

 If you are not actively participating in mining, this is the simplest way to stay involved and earn rewards through holding.

Conclusion and Reflection


This article covers the existing and relevant core protocols within the Hyperliquid ecosystem, but by no means encompasses everything that is happening. Currently, there are dozens of new protocols being built on HyperEVM, many of which show promise, and some are still finding their place. Due to space constraints, we focused on discussing those protocols with active rewards and meaningful progress. But this momentum is spreading rapidly.

The most lucrative airdrops often do not loudly announce themselves. Hyperliquid has already demonstrated its commitment to early users through one of the largest token distributions of its kind.

Now, the entire ecosystem around HyperEVM appears poised to follow a similar trajectory.

There is ample reason to argue that the current early activity in the HyperEVM ecosystem is significantly undervalued relative to its future potential. The protocols mentioned in this article represent core infrastructure that could become vital to the DeFi landscape, with early participants likely receiving significant token allocations.

For those who missed out on the initial Hyperliquid airdrop, the emerging ecosystem offers a rare second chance, this time with clearer direction on which activities are most critical.

China's Central Bank and Eight Other Departments' Latest Regulatory Focus: Key Attention to RWA Tokenized Asset Risk


Foreword: Today, the People's Bank of China's website published the "Notice of the People's Bank of China, National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Ministry of Public Security, State Administration for Market Regulation, China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission, China Securities Regulatory Commission, State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Further Preventing and Dealing with Risks Related to Virtual Currency and Others (Yinfa [2026] No. 42)", the latest regulatory requirements from the eight departments including the central bank, which are basically consistent with the regulatory requirements of recent years. The main focus of the regulation is on speculative activities such as virtual currency trading, exchanges, ICOs, overseas platform services, and this time, regulatory oversight of RWA has been added, explicitly prohibiting RWA tokenization, stablecoins (especially those pegged to the RMB). The following is the full text:


To the people's governments of all provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the Central Government, the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps:


  Recently, there have been speculative activities related to virtual currency and Real-World Assets (RWA) tokenization, disrupting the economic and financial order and jeopardizing the property security of the people. In order to further prevent and address the risks related to virtual currency and Real-World Assets tokenization, effectively safeguard national security and social stability, in accordance with the "Law of the People's Republic of China on the People's Bank of China," "Law of the People's Republic of China on Commercial Banks," "Securities Law of the People's Republic of China," "Law of the People's Republic of China on Securities Investment Funds," "Law of the People's Republic of China on Futures and Derivatives," "Cybersecurity Law of the People's Republic of China," "Regulations of the People's Republic of China on the Administration of Renminbi," "Regulations on Prevention and Disposal of Illegal Fundraising," "Regulations of the People's Republic of China on Foreign Exchange Administration," "Telecommunications Regulations of the People's Republic of China," and other provisions, after reaching consensus with the Cyberspace Administration of China, the Supreme People's Court, and the Supreme People's Procuratorate, and with the approval of the State Council, the relevant matters are notified as follows:


  I. Clarify the essential attributes of virtual currency, Real-World Assets tokenization, and related business activities


  (I) Virtual currency does not possess the legal status equivalent to fiat currency. Virtual currencies such as Bitcoin, Ether, Tether, etc., have the main characteristics of being issued by non-monetary authorities, using encryption technology and distributed ledger or similar technology, existing in digital form, etc. They do not have legal tender status, should not and cannot be circulated and used as currency in the market.


  The business activities related to virtual currency are classified as illegal financial activities. The exchange of fiat currency and virtual currency within the territory, exchange of virtual currencies, acting as a central counterparty in buying and selling virtual currencies, providing information intermediary and pricing services for virtual currency transactions, token issuance financing, and trading of virtual currency-related financial products, etc., fall under illegal financial activities, such as suspected illegal issuance of token vouchers, unauthorized public issuance of securities, illegal operation of securities and futures business, illegal fundraising, etc., are strictly prohibited across the board and resolutely banned in accordance with the law. Overseas entities and individuals are not allowed to provide virtual currency-related services to domestic entities in any form.


  A stablecoin pegged to a fiat currency indirectly fulfills some functions of the fiat currency in circulation. Without the consent of relevant authorities in accordance with the law and regulations, any domestic or foreign entity or individual is not allowed to issue a RMB-pegged stablecoin overseas.


(II)Tokenization of Real-World Assets refers to the use of encryption technology and distributed ledger or similar technologies to transform ownership rights, income rights, etc., of assets into tokens (tokens) or other interests or bond certificates with token (token) characteristics, and carry out issuance and trading activities.


  Engaging in the tokenization of real-world assets domestically, as well as providing related intermediary, information technology services, etc., which are suspected of illegal issuance of token vouchers, unauthorized public offering of securities, illegal operation of securities and futures business, illegal fundraising, and other illegal financial activities, shall be prohibited; except for relevant business activities carried out with the approval of the competent authorities in accordance with the law and regulations and relying on specific financial infrastructures. Overseas entities and individuals are not allowed to illegally provide services related to the tokenization of real-world assets to domestic entities in any form.


  II. Sound Work Mechanism


  (III) Inter-agency Coordination. The People's Bank of China, together with the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Public Security, the State Administration for Market Regulation, the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission, the China Securities Regulatory Commission, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, and other departments, will improve the work mechanism, strengthen coordination with the Cyberspace Administration of China, the Supreme People's Court, and the Supreme People's Procuratorate, coordinate efforts, and overall guide regions to carry out risk prevention and disposal of virtual currency-related illegal financial activities.


  The China Securities Regulatory Commission, together with the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Public Security, the People's Bank of China, the State Administration for Market Regulation, the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, and other departments, will improve the work mechanism, strengthen coordination with the Cyberspace Administration of China, the Supreme People's Court, and the Supreme People's Procuratorate, coordinate efforts, and overall guide regions to carry out risk prevention and disposal of illegal financial activities related to the tokenization of real-world assets.


  (IV) Strengthening Local Implementation. The people's governments at the provincial level are overall responsible for the prevention and disposal of risks related to virtual currencies and the tokenization of real-world assets in their respective administrative regions. The specific leading department is the local financial regulatory department, with participation from branches and dispatched institutions of the State Council's financial regulatory department, telecommunications regulators, public security, market supervision, and other departments, in coordination with cyberspace departments, courts, and procuratorates, to improve the normalization of the work mechanism, effectively connect with the relevant work mechanisms of central departments, form a cooperative and coordinated working pattern between central and local governments, effectively prevent and properly handle risks related to virtual currencies and the tokenization of real-world assets, and maintain economic and financial order and social stability.


  III. Strengthened Risk Monitoring, Prevention, and Disposal


  (5) Enhanced Risk Monitoring. The People's Bank of China, China Securities Regulatory Commission, National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Ministry of Public Security, State Administration of Foreign Exchange, Cyberspace Administration of China, and other departments continue to improve monitoring techniques and system support, enhance cross-departmental data analysis and sharing, establish sound information sharing and cross-validation mechanisms, promptly grasp the risk situation of activities related to virtual currency and real-world asset tokenization. Local governments at all levels give full play to the role of local monitoring and early warning mechanisms. Local financial regulatory authorities, together with branches and agencies of the State Council's financial regulatory authorities, as well as departments of cyberspace and public security, ensure effective connection between online monitoring, offline investigation, and fund tracking, efficiently and accurately identify activities related to virtual currency and real-world asset tokenization, promptly share risk information, improve early warning information dissemination, verification, and rapid response mechanisms.


  (6) Strengthened Oversight of Financial Institutions, Intermediaries, and Technology Service Providers. Financial institutions (including non-bank payment institutions) are prohibited from providing account opening, fund transfer, and clearing services for virtual currency-related business activities, issuing and selling financial products related to virtual currency, including virtual currency and related financial products in the scope of collateral, conducting insurance business related to virtual currency, or including virtual currency in the scope of insurance liability. Financial institutions (including non-bank payment institutions) are prohibited from providing custody, clearing, and settlement services for unauthorized real-world asset tokenization-related business and related financial products. Relevant intermediary institutions and information technology service providers are prohibited from providing intermediary, technical, or other services for unauthorized real-world asset tokenization-related businesses and related financial products.


  (7) Enhanced Management of Internet Information Content and Access. Internet enterprises are prohibited from providing online business venues, commercial displays, marketing, advertising, or paid traffic diversion services for virtual currency and real-world asset tokenization-related business activities. Upon discovering clues of illegal activities, they should promptly report to relevant departments and provide technical support and assistance for related investigations and inquiries. Based on the clues transferred by the financial regulatory authorities, the cyberspace administration, telecommunications authorities, and public security departments should promptly close and deal with websites, mobile applications (including mini-programs), and public accounts engaged in virtual currency and real-world asset tokenization-related business activities in accordance with the law.


  (8) Strengthened Entity Registration and Advertisement Management. Market supervision departments strengthen entity registration and management, and enterprise and individual business registrations must not contain terms such as "virtual currency," "virtual asset," "cryptocurrency," "crypto asset," "stablecoin," "real-world asset tokenization," or "RWA" in their names or business scopes. Market supervision departments, together with financial regulatory authorities, legally enhance the supervision of advertisements related to virtual currency and real-world asset tokenization, promptly investigating and handling relevant illegal advertisements.


  (IX) Continued Rectification of Virtual Currency Mining Activities. The National Development and Reform Commission, together with relevant departments, strictly controls virtual currency mining activities, continuously promotes the rectification of virtual currency mining activities. The people's governments of various provinces take overall responsibility for the rectification of "mining" within their respective administrative regions. In accordance with the requirements of the National Development and Reform Commission and other departments in the "Notice on the Rectification of Virtual Currency Mining Activities" (NDRC Energy-saving Building [2021] No. 1283) and the provisions of the "Guidance Catalog for Industrial Structure Adjustment (2024 Edition)," a comprehensive review, investigation, and closure of existing virtual currency mining projects are conducted, new mining projects are strictly prohibited, and mining machine production enterprises are strictly prohibited from providing mining machine sales and other services within the country.


  (X) Severe Crackdown on Related Illegal Financial Activities. Upon discovering clues to illegal financial activities related to virtual currency and the tokenization of real-world assets, local financial regulatory authorities, branches of the State Council's financial regulatory authorities, and other relevant departments promptly investigate, determine, and properly handle the issues in accordance with the law, and seriously hold the relevant entities and individuals legally responsible. Those suspected of crimes are transferred to the judicial authorities for processing according to the law.


 (XI) Severe Crackdown on Related Illegal and Criminal Activities. The Ministry of Public Security, the People's Bank of China, the State Administration for Market Regulation, the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission, the China Securities Regulatory Commission, as well as judicial and procuratorial organs, in accordance with their respective responsibilities, rigorously crack down on illegal and criminal activities related to virtual currency, the tokenization of real-world assets, such as fraud, money laundering, illegal business operations, pyramid schemes, illegal fundraising, and other illegal and criminal activities carried out under the guise of virtual currency, the tokenization of real-world assets, etc.


  (XII) Strengthen Industry Self-discipline. Relevant industry associations should enhance membership management and policy advocacy, based on their own responsibilities, advocate and urge member units to resist illegal financial activities related to virtual currency and the tokenization of real-world assets. Member units that violate regulatory policies and industry self-discipline rules are to be disciplined in accordance with relevant self-regulatory management regulations. By leveraging various industry infrastructure, conduct risk monitoring related to virtual currency, the tokenization of real-world assets, and promptly transfer issue clues to relevant departments.


  IV. Strict Supervision of Domestic Entities Engaging in Overseas Business Activities


(XIII) Without the approval of relevant departments in accordance with the law and regulations, domestic entities and foreign entities controlled by them may not issue virtual currency overseas.


  (XIV) Domestic entities engaging directly or indirectly in overseas external debt-based tokenization of real-world assets, or conducting asset securitization activities abroad based on domestic ownership rights, income rights, etc. (hereinafter referred to as domestic equity), should be strictly regulated in accordance with the principles of "same business, same risk, same rules." The National Development and Reform Commission, the China Securities Regulatory Commission, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, and other relevant departments regulate it according to their respective responsibilities. For other forms of overseas real-world asset tokenization activities based on domestic equity by domestic entities, the China Securities Regulatory Commission, together with relevant departments, supervise according to their division of responsibilities. Without the consent and filing of relevant departments, no unit or individual may engage in the above-mentioned business.


  (15) Overseas subsidiaries and branches of domestic financial institutions providing Real World Asset Tokenization-related services overseas shall do so legally and prudently. They shall have professional personnel and systems in place to effectively mitigate business risks, strictly implement customer onboarding, suitability management, anti-money laundering requirements, and incorporate them into the domestic financial institutions' compliance and risk management system. Intermediaries and information technology service providers offering Real World Asset Tokenization services abroad based on domestic equity or conducting Real World Asset Tokenization business in the form of overseas debt for domestic entities directly or indirectly venturing abroad must strictly comply with relevant laws and regulations. They should establish and improve relevant compliance and internal control systems in accordance with relevant normative requirements, strengthen business and risk control, and report the business developments to the relevant regulatory authorities for approval or filing.


  V. Strengthen Organizational Implementation


  (16) Strengthen organizational leadership and overall coordination. All departments and regions should attach great importance to the prevention of risks related to virtual currencies and Real World Asset Tokenization, strengthen organizational leadership, clarify work responsibilities, form a long-term effective working mechanism with centralized coordination, local implementation, and shared responsibilities, maintain high pressure, dynamically monitor risks, effectively prevent and mitigate risks in an orderly and efficient manner, legally protect the property security of the people, and make every effort to maintain economic and financial order and social stability.


  (17) Widely carry out publicity and education. All departments, regions, and industry associations should make full use of various media and other communication channels to disseminate information through legal and policy interpretation, analysis of typical cases, and education on investment risks, etc. They should promote the illegality and harm of virtual currencies and Real World Asset Tokenization-related businesses and their manifestations, fully alert to potential risks and hidden dangers, and enhance public awareness and identification capabilities for risk prevention.


  VI. Legal Responsibility


  (18) Engaging in illegal financial activities related to virtual currencies and Real World Asset Tokenization in violation of this notice, as well as providing services for virtual currencies and Real World Asset Tokenization-related businesses, shall be punished in accordance with relevant regulations. If it constitutes a crime, criminal liability shall be pursued according to the law. For domestic entities and individuals who knowingly or should have known that overseas entities illegally provided virtual currency or Real World Asset Tokenization-related services to domestic entities and still assisted them, relevant responsibilities shall be pursued according to the law. If it constitutes a crime, criminal liability shall be pursued according to the law.


  (19) If any unit or individual invests in virtual currencies, Real World Asset Tokens, and related financial products against public order and good customs, the relevant civil legal actions shall be invalid, and any resulting losses shall be borne by them. If there are suspicions of disrupting financial order and jeopardizing financial security, the relevant departments shall deal with them according to the law.
