Study Times: Digital currency is gradually becoming an important strategic tool for geopolitical competition

(Source: Wu Shuo)

The Study Times official account published an article "The Wartime Military Function of Digital Currency." The article pointed out that digital currency, as an important strategic tool for national general war, modern hybrid warfare, and digital financial warfare, is essentially a new form of traditional financial warfare arising from the evolution of modern informatization and intelligent warfare. It is reshaping the traditional model of cross-border flow of funds and resource mobilization during wartime, and has gradually become an important strategic tool for geopolitical competition. Three main digital currency military application models have formed around the world: "resource tokenization" in resource-based countries (such as Venezuela's Petro), "decentralized crowdfunding" in small and medium-sized countries, and "on-chain sanctions" in developed countries. The "Defense Blockchain Internal Test Plan" mentioned in the U.S. National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025 may become an important strategic tool for "financial defense" in the future.
