- In the foreword, Yao said that “Web 3.0 innovation has become a development direction that countries are highly concerned with and value,” and the research on it is “of great significance for China’s Internet infrastructure development and related industries.”
- Yao was the first director of the Chinese Central Bank’s Digital Currency (CBDC) research department and served from 2017 to 2018.
- In articles published in 2017 and 2018, Yao had questioned the coexistence of CBDC and cryptocurrencies, and discussed the potential of decentralized ledger technology.
- Yao was also named one of the most influential people in the blockchain field in 2017 by Coindesk.
- China banned crypto mining and trading from September 2021. This, in addition to China’s strict zero-Covid policy, is pushing miners, crypto service providers and Web 3.0 talent to seek greener pastures overseas such as in Singapore.
