China’s daily market report shows that token usage in the country has surpassed 140 trillion as of March 2026, according to the National Data Bureau. Daily token usage was 100 billion in early 2024, reached 100 trillion by the end of 2025, and now stands at 140 trillion—a 1,000-fold increase over two years. Tokens have become measurable, tradable units in the data economy. Market reforms are accelerating the adoption and settlement systems for tokens. As tokenization expands, new altcoins to watch may emerge.

ChainThink reports that in March, according to the China National Data Bureau as cited by the People's Daily, China's daily average token usage has exceeded 140 trillion.


At the beginning of 2024, this figure stood at $100 billion; by the end of 2025, it had surged to $10 quadrillion; in March this year, it surpassed $14 quadrillion, representing more than a thousandfold increase over two years.


Tokens are the smallest units of information processed by large models, characterized by their measurability, pricing, and tradability in the intelligent era. As reforms advance the market-based allocation of data elements, systems for invoking, distributing, and settling tokens are rapidly taking shape.
