China’s National Internet Information Office (CAC) has published a compilation of frequently asked questions and answers on blockchain information service filing within the newly launched “Internet New Technologies and Applications Information Service Filing System.”
The FAQ states that when completing a blockchain information service filing, the service name must not contain terms such as virtual currency, exchange, or ICO.
It lists five situations that affect a blockchain information service filing application:
- The content involves virtual currency issuance, trading, ICO or related businesses;
- Servers for the blockchain information service are deployed overseas;
- ICP filing has not been completed as required;
- Submitted materials are unclear or the reported information is inconsistent;
- The service does not fall within the scope of blockchain information service filing.
In addition, operators providing blockchain underlying technology, nodes, evidence storage or other BaaS (Blockchain-as-a-Service) related services to external parties must complete the blockchain information service filing procedure.
The CAC’s “Internet New Technologies and Applications Information Service Filing System” officially went live on 9 November 2026, enabling integrated filing for generative artificial intelligence, algorithms, deep synthesis, blockchain and other categories.
