As of September 4, 2026, several Chinese business institutions have begun implementing programs that reward consumers with AI tokens. These initiatives include giving tokens as a bonus for coffee services, offering tokens for purchases using specific credit cards, and distributing tokens in dining scenarios, such as when purchasing dumplings. The goal of these programs is to promote the adoption of AI-related ecosystems and user participation through everyday consumption experiences.
Chinese businesses are issuing artificial intelligence tokens in everyday scenarios such as coffee, credit cards, and dumplings. Banks, cafes, and telecom operators, among other companies of various sizes, have joined this trend, enabling artificial intelligence tokens to quickly enter daily life from the technical realm.
