Just a few days after the country’s president, Xi Jinping, publicly embraced blockchain technology, China’s Center for Information and Industry Development (CCID) has released its latest crypto ranking report.
CCID, which operates under the supervision of the country’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, is tasked with interfacing businesses with the government and watches over the country’s information industry.
Its latest crypto ranking report, which is the 14th since its first report in May 2018, comprised of 35 digital currencies. Interestingly, despite Bitcoin being the flagship cryptocurrency, it was ranked 11th. The first spot was occupied by its previous holder, EOS.
