The crypto industry is extremely adept at moving across borders, and as power politics between nations dictate different priorities, crypto will make its home base where ever the doors open. Right now China and Russia are in a West vs. East struggle, and anything they can do to reduce the power of the US Dollar and banking system will be supported.

Hasn't the CCP been pretty adversarial to cryptocurrency?

Since Russia has lots of energy, maybe they can use it to settle transactions?

Meanwhile Visa keeps on clearing incomparably more (by “several orders of magnitude”) encrypted transactions per second globally for miniscule energy?

China has outright banned it at various times. USA has taken legal stances against things like tornado cash, but never anything close to the broad strokes of banning that the Chinese government has done. If anything the slowness and deliberateness of USA regulators to respond has enabled the entire worldwide crypto economy to flourish.

So China is now going to "roll out the red carpets" for crypto exchanges? Yeah right.

CCP doesn’t want crypto due to risk from capital flight and monetary control in China. Hong Kong has no such risks given its freer capital control. The only thing non-free that CCP care is speech.
