Digital currency brings challenges to investment banks

1. Recently, the rising price of bitcoin has given birth to all kinds of digital currency financing (ICO) boom. To become a future currency form, digital currency must first have all the functions of the existing currency. However, the existing digital currency represented by bitcoin and blockchain technology still has challenges in some traditional problems< There is no doubt that digital currency is a beneficial attempt to establish the future monetary system, but its premise is to adapt to the current level of human proctivity, technology and culture. In the past, we overemphasized the anonymity, credit and wealth attributes of digital currency under the current credit standard system, but ignored the basic functions of currency
according to the prospective instry research institute, an investment institution, the current upsurge of various types of digital currency financing does not mean that digital currency is becoming more and more popular as a currency. On the contrary, it is regarded by some people as "digital assets" to store, hype or use for illegal purposes, which can not but arouse enough attention and vigilance.

2. The traditional electronic payment system is built on the basis of credit, relying on the centralized third-party institutions to complete. Digital currency technology such as bitcoin can effectively integrate electronic payment with decentralized system
the monetary property of digital currency has attracted a lot of attention, and the distributed accounting system behind the payment system is undoubtedly a more attractive innovation. In view of the fact that bank deposits and other financial assets are only in pure digital form, this just provides a broader opportunity for distributed accounting system to change the whole financial system
money and payment system are naturally linked. The payment system, the medium of transaction, must be safe and reliable. Any trading system needs an accounting system to record the assets you own in the system
modern payment systems usually use computers to store data. To put it bluntly, the money you deposit in the bank is a series of numbers recorded in the bank account
this article will focus on the recent innovative events in the field of payment, such as bitcoin, a global digital currency, which skillfully integrates the most perfect payment system with the most perfect currency. Users can rely on it to complete the exchange of legal money, commodity trading, purchase services and other activities without the participation of third-party institutions (such as banks). Its innovation lies in that it is not controlled by any centralized banks
bitcoin, the largest digital currency at present, was founded in 2009 and has been supported by thousands of businesses around the world, from pizza to virtual host. Most digital currencies, including bitcoin, have a fixed supply set. This chapter will give a brief introction to its working principle. It will give you a brief introction on how to strengthen the secure payment system with technical means, evaluate the possibility that the old payment system should be replaced by new technology, explain how the distributed accounting system removes many problems in the existing system, and explore new areas where new technology may be applied
many media reported that bitcoin only reported the discussion on its currency property and price. This paper focuses on the revolutionary innovation of the payment system brought by the distributed accounting system of digital currency - the payment system without the participation of any centralized institutions. These innovations can also be expanded in other areas, such as encrypted communications, decision-making, P2P networks
central banks have the responsibility to stabilize their monetary and payment systems to ensure the stable operation of the economy. The recent innovation in payment technology has been related to the topic of "digital currency". Most of the payment systems in today's economies follow the pattern of centuries ago, that is, they use centralized institutions to carry out secured transactions. For example, the Jinpu bank appeared in the 16th century. People can exchange physical gold for gold tickets, which can be used as gold coins or gold coins, but can not be used across banks. With the requirements of social development, there is an increasingly urgent need for an inter-bank payment system, now the practice is a variety of UnionPay organizations
bitcoin, Ruitai coin, Weimeng coin, Laite coin and other digital currencies may disappear in the future, because now it is only a small experiment, but this idea may continue.

At present, there are mainly two regulations about virtual currency in China. In 2013, many ministries and commissions issued the notice on prevention of bitcoin risk, giving important tips on bitcoin risk. On September 4, 2017, the central bank and other seven ministries and commissions jointly announced again that the first token issue was an unauthorized illegal financing

According to Zhao, there are various ways to launder money by using digital currency. For example, technical means may be used to transfer funds into the cryptocurrency system, and then deploy various transfer addresses, making it difficult to query its transaction path. In other words, money laundering promoted by technological progress is more and more difficult to be detected and prevented. In addition, it has cross regional characteristics, and the lack of global response mechanism exacerbates this situation

in fact, since April 2020, small-scale pilot projects of digital RMB have been carried out in Shenzhen, Cheng, Suzhou and xiong'an, and the pilot scale will be expanded to 28 provinces and cities in August 2020

as a socially recognized "super outlet", in addition to the high investment of digital currency related enterprises, its impact on the financial market is also of great research value

Policy evolution of the development of digital RMB

as early as 2014, the central bank has concted research layout on digital RMB, and discussed the development framework of digital RMB with major international financial institutions and research institutions in the 2016 digital currency seminar

after six years of development, China has initially developed the "pbctfp blockchain platform" and continuously promoted the pilot activities of digital RMB. It can be predicted that as today's technology and policy outlet, digital RMB will have excellent development prospects and extremely fast development speed in the next few years

With the rapid development of information network communication technology, electronic payment has been popularized rapidly, and legal digital currency is also developing< China vigorously promotes digital currency, and the development of digital currency has great positive significance for China's economic development

finally, it is difficult for users to feel the difference between digital RMB payment and third-party payment in their daily consumption.

Digital RMB is the financial infrastructure built by the state, and there is no charge for the cashing and redemption of digital RMB. Digital RMB can be used to pay third-party payments. However, for those who need convenient electronic payment, people without financial accounts can also use digital RMB< Digital RMB supports controllable anonymity, which can better protect users' privacy
