China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has released the results of a study involving 28 cryptocurrencies.The methodoligy was explained like this (translated):Now people are wondering - why is the Chinese government even conducting studies like this? Could this be a sign that regulations on cryptocurrencies could soon be loosened? Which would be a huge boost to global cryptocurrency markets.Below is their scoring card - while we haven't been told what specific tests are included in each category, you can see they are scored on 3 features: Technology, Application, Innovation.My opinion - some results on this list I can understand, but there’s a few surprises that have me questioning the specific underlying factors they analyzed. Regardless, it’s nice seeing China talk about cryptocurrencies besides just saying they’re ‘too risky’ - this is a step in the right direction.Not listed: the 16th to 28th places - which are Ether Classic, Reverb Chain, Dash, Cloud Storage Chain, Litecoin, Ark, Big Zero Coin, Nano, Bit Cash, Decred, Super cash and new chain.
