Deep News11-14 19:10

On November 30, EY's official WeChat account announced that the Shenzhen Longgang District AI (Robotics) Bureau and EY jointly initiated an innovative practice in token economy statistics and governance, with the "Token Economy and Token Index Research Report" released at the same time.

With Longgang as the first comprehensive verification scenario, the two parties aim to transform tokens from billing records of intelligent services into comparable and verifiable public statistical data. The world's first urban-level token index thus began in Longgang. This is not merely the release of a report, but the starting point for building public statistical infrastructure for the token economy: establishing a system for statistics, monitoring, and governance for the rapidly exploding token economy.

According to the National Data Administration and public reports, China's average daily token usage surged from approximately 100 billion at the beginning of 2024 to over 500 trillion by June 2026, a roughly 5,000-fold increase in two and a half years.

Bi Shunjie, Managing Partner of EY Greater China, stated: Fully implementing the "AI+" initiative requires not only visible technological breakthroughs but also measurable development outcomes. Measurement standards are the cornerstone of economic operations. Tokens are becoming the unit of account for the intelligent economy, but transforming them from billing records into public statistics requires unified accounts, transparent standards, and verifiable methods. Tokens are not lacking in data; the real issue is whether scattered usage records can become reliable public statistics.

Making numbers measurable, verifiable, and trustworthy is EY's longstanding professional expertise. Extending this capability from financial measurement to intelligent measurement, and providing a scientific, unified, and verifiable measurement method for the token economy, is precisely the rightful role of professional service institutions in supporting the development of the intelligent economy.
