A state-managed blockchain is a distributed ledger technology network controlled or significantly influenced by a government entity. Unlike fully decentralized public blockchains, these networks feature centralized governance, often with permissioned access, where the state dictates participation, transaction validation, and protocol modifications. Such blockchains are typically designed to serve specific national objectives, such as digital currency issuance, supply chain tracking, or identity management, prioritizing control and compliance over complete decentralization. They represent a hybrid approach to blockchain implementation.
Context
The emergence of state-managed blockchains highlights a global trend where governments explore the benefits of distributed ledger technology while maintaining sovereign control. Discussions often involve the trade-offs between decentralization and regulatory oversight, as well as the potential for these systems to reshape national financial infrastructures. Future developments will likely involve increasing deployment of central bank digital currencies and other state-backed digital initiatives.
The new law legalizes virtual asset operations while imposing a highly centralized regulatory architecture that grants the Central Bank ultimate control over market activity and asset issuance.
