He said that when using crypto assets, uniform laws and rules are needed. Yang said in an interview, "At the moment, we are in a state of chaos with different state-to-state rules, which is not good for everyone. It is not good for innovators who want to invest in this area. Therefore, I will give priority It's about making clear and transparent rules so everyone knows where they are headed in the future and we can stay competitive in this area. "

Yang also added that the blockchain technology behind cryptocurrencies has great potential and should be invested in this area. He also believes that regulators cannot stop investors who want to invest in cryptocurrency assets.
