practical significance

the digitalization of central bank's currency helps to optimize the central bank's monetary payment function, improve the central bank's monetary status and the effectiveness of monetary policy. The central bank's digital currency can become an interest bearing asset to meet the holder's reserve demand for safe assets, and can also become the lower limit of bank deposit interest rate

can also become a new monetary policy tool. At the same time, the central bank can affect the bank's deposit and loan interest rate by adjusting the central bank's digital currency interest rate, and help break the zero interest rate lower limit

operation system

fan Yifei, vice governor of the people's Bank of China, said in the article that the digital currency of the people's Bank of China should adopt a two-tier operation system. This model does not change the relationship between creditor's rights and debt of currency in circulation, does not change the existing money supply system and al account structure, does not constitute a competition for commercial banks' deposit currency, and does not increase commercial banks' dependence on the interbank lending market

will not affect the lending ability of commercial banks, and will not lead to the phenomenon of "financial disintermediation". At the same time, because it does not affect the existing monetary policy transmission mechanism, it will not strengthen the pro cyclical effect under the pressure environment, and it can improve the convenience and security of payment, and it also has the credit advantage of central bank endorsement

2. As early as 2014, the people's Bank of China has set up a special research group to study the central bank's digital currency. Until today, the central bank's digital currency has a real sense of landing. China may become the first economy to issue sovereign digital currency, and 2020 is expected to be the first year of global central bank digital currency

the DCEP issued by the central bank is a digital currency, which is very similar to Alipay and WeChat payment. But it is different from Alipay and WeChat, because it is more like paper money, and the third party can not get the information from both sides of the transaction. It is anonymous and centralization, and the endorsement of the state can be assured.

what is the use of central bank digital currency

from the perspective of the central bank, if the central bank wants to put in funds, it doesn't need these scientific and technological means to trigger conditions, and it could have done it

for users, they have one more option when paying. Users only need to download the central bank's digital currency wallet app, and then associate with their existing bank accounts to exchange the previous banknotes into the corresponding digital currency

for the current mobile payment, users are still accustomed to using Alipay and WeChat to pay. But how to say? Personally, Alipay was originally a professional payment software, but after all these years of development, the Alipay interface is extremely complex, and the user experience is not very friendly.
as for wechat payment, wechat started from social networking at first, and has evolved from professional social software to comprehensive software in recent years. To put it plainly, whether it is Alipay or WeChat, it seems that it has deviated from its original intention. This may bring opportunities to the central bank's digital currency

when will central bank digital currency become popular

according to the bank, considering that the early digital RMB is only limited to the pilot, it will not be issued in large quantities and promoted comprehensively in the short term, and the speed of currency circulation will also maintain a normal level

many people say that digital money has no effect on Alipay. I beg to differ. As Ma Yun said, sometimes it's just a document that beats you. What is the impact of the central bank's digital currency on Alipay? Let's wait and see.

3. This means that, promoted by the people's Bank of China, the people's Bank of China will become the first central bank to study digital currency and its real application. The central bank's version of digital currency is different from the traditional digital currency
the central bank's version of digital currency will first be applied to the bill market, and the block chain based digital bill trading platform has been tested successfully. After the Spring Festival, the digital currency Research Institute of the central bank will also be officially listed. The version of the central bank's digital currency has the monetary attribute, which has been reported by the media before the Spring Festival

4. So far, the Central Bank of China has not officially issued digital currency. If digital currency will replace paper currency, it may take several years.

5. There is no established timetable for digital currency
Zhou Xiaochuan pointed out that as legal tender, digital currency must be issued by the central bank. The issue, circulation and transaction of digital currency should follow the idea of integration of traditional currency and digital currency, and implement the same principle of management. That is to say, q-coin and the like are definitely not good
as for whether to use blockchain technology to create digital currency. Zhou Xiaochuan said that the blockchain technology is an optional technology, but so far, the blockchain still occupies too many resources. Whether it is computing resources or storage resources, it can't cope with the current transaction scale, and whether it can be solved in the future depends on it. Zhou Xiaochuan said that in addition to blockchain technology, the digital currency research team of the people's Bank of China has also concted in-depth research on other related technologies involved in digital currency, such as mobile payment, trusted and controllable cloud computing, cryptographic algorithm, security chip, etc
in addition, Zhou Xiaochuan also mentioned that there is a lot of discussion about "51% attack" (assuming that indivials have 51% of the computing speed of the whole network, they can realize double payment, reverse transactions, paralyze the whole network, and completely lose the transfer function). More specifically, compared with the special currency, bitcoin does not need the central bank. Zhou Xiaochuan mentioned that for the digital currency controlled by the central bank, a series of technical means, mechanism design and laws and regulations will be adopted to ensure the security of the digital currency operation system, which is different from the design idea of bitcoin from the beginning
as for the digital currency timetable, Zhou Xiaochuan said that there is no established timetable. The relationship between digital currency and cash will be parallel and graally replaced for quite a long time. For reference.

6. At present, digital currency is not really in circulation in any country. In South America, there was a small country that wanted to issue its own sovereign digital currency, but there was no latest progress. Of course, China, Britain and other big countries have planned to issue digital currency, but it is still in a testing stage and has not really implemented it
the first country to recognize bitcoin as legal was Germany, which first defined bitcoin as an alternative currency. Of course, in the future, sovereign digital currencies may be popular, and digital cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, Ruitai coin, Laite coin and vitality coin will become a supplement.
