What to know:
- Conflux's native token, CFX, more than doubled in 24 hours, reaching levels last seen in December.
- The surge was driven by the announcement of a yuan-pegged stablecoin and the upcoming launch of Conflux 3.0.
- Conflux's market cap now exceeds $1.09 billion, with trading volume skyrocketing to over $1.7 billion.
Conflux (CFX), the native token of what calls itself China’s only regulatory-compliant public blockchain, surged as much as 115% in the past 24 hours, briefly touching 24 cents, a level not seen since December.
The explosive move was fueled by two key catalysts: The announcement of a new offshore-yuan-pegged stablecoin and the forthcoming launch of Conflux 3.0, a major protocol upgrade. Both developments were unveiled during a weekend event in Shanghai and picked up by state media, adding legitimacy and spotlight to the project.

The 24-hour trading volume in CFX surged to over $1.7 billion — a massive increase from under $60 million just two days prior — signaling renewed speculative interest and inflows from Asia-based traders. The market cap now sits above $1.09 billion, pushing CFX back into the top 120 tokens by market size.
Conflux reportedly said it is working with fintech firm AnchorX and Shenzhen-listed Eastcompeace Technology to issue a stablecoin pegged to the offshore yuan and aimed specifically at cross-border Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) corridors.
Conflux 3.0, also announced at the event, is expected to launch in August with a claimed throughput of up to 15,000 transactions per second (TPS) and support for large-scale cross-border settlement and real-world asset issuance
This isn’t the first time Conflux has surged on China-aligned narratives. Often dubbed the “Chinese Ethereum” by Crypto Twitter, Conflux had previously rallied on headlines of its collaboration with China Telecom to develop blockchain-enabled SIM cards.
The network has also cooperated with McDonald’s China and the city of Shanghai on Web3 and metaverse pilots, positioning it as a compliant, homegrown alternative to Western blockchains.
