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
On November 9, 2019, the central bank has not launched digital currency

benefits of digital currency
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. It can also become a new monetary policy tool
at the same time, the central bank can affect the bank deposit and loan interest rate by adjusting the digital currency interest rate of the central bank, and help to break the zero interest rate lower limit
according to the news on August 10, Mu Changchun, deputy director general of the payment and Settlement Department of the people's Bank of China, said at the third China finance forum that the central bank's digital currency will soon be launched and will adopt a two-tier operation system, that is, the people's Bank of China will be the upper tier and commercial institutions will be the second tier< As for why the central bank's digital currency chooses the "two-tier operation system", Mu Changchun explained:
1. The central bank's digital currency is bound to face the retail scene and the public, while the performance of bitcoin and Libra can not meet the high concurrency. After a period of research, it is decided to adopt the two-tier system
2. It is a complex system engineering for big countries to issue central bank digital currency
3. The IT infrastructure application and service system of commercial banks and other institutions have been relatively mature, the user base is huge, and the service habit has been formed; There are plenty of talents and it experts; The system has strong processing ability, and has accumulated some experience in the application of financial technology
4. Through the design of two-tier operation, risk can be avoided to concentrate on a single indivial
5. Single layer investment will lead to "financial disintermediation". If the central bank directly releases digital money to the public, it will crowd out the deposits of commercial banks and affect the loan delivery ability of commercial banks; In extreme cases, it will also subvert the existing financial system, leading to the "grand unification" of the central bank
6; It will not affect the existing monetary policy transmission mechanism
7. The central bank will not preset the technology route, any advanced technology may be used in the research and development of the central bank's digital currency; The boundary between electronic payment and central bank digital currency is fuzzy; It can fully mobilize market forces and realize system optimization through competition
it can be seen that the central bank has recognized the legitimacy of bitcoin and Ethernet in disguised form. However, the central bank's digital currency is different from the traditional blockchain digital currency. It is 1:1 anchored RMB. I regard it as RMB digitization. The central bank's digital currency, paper money, coins and bonds exist at the same time, but in different ways. It is a kind of stable currency, and there is no room for speculation
at the beginning of this year, the most influential event of digital currency is Facebook's upcoming launch of digital currency Libra. If successful, it will bring 3 billion Facebook users into digital currency. However, Libra has not included the RMB in its basket of currencies. Coupled with the sweater war and exchange rate war with the United States, this may be the reason why the central bank urgently launched the central bank's digital currency. It is said that Wal Mart will also launch digital currency. With JPMorgan's issuing currency before, it can be predicted that traditional business giants will enter the era of blockchain digital currency one after another
the issuance of digital currency by the central bank may be a great benefit to the users of China's currency circle. Due to some policy reasons, the users' access to the digital currency world is not very smooth, which is the problem of difficult access to money. The most common stable currency, usdt, does not seem to be very stable and over issued seriously. In addition, the attorney general's office in New York investigates TEDA and other reasons, There may be a risk of thunderstorm at any time. According to statistics, about 80% of the users who use usdt are Chinese users, while the United States uses USD directly, and a few will use usdt. If the central bank introces digital currency, it will greatly facilitate digital currency users
finally, the other role of the central bank's digital currency is cross-border trade settlement. If it is combined with Alipay and WeChat payment, it will compete abroad and compete with Libra internationally.
what we call DC / EP is the Chinese version of the central bank's digital currency, translated as "digital currency and electronic payment instruments"
the center for International Settlements (BIS) and the Committee on payment and market infrastructure (CPMI), two authoritative international organizations, jointly concted two questionnaires on more than 60 central banks in 2018 and 2019. The content of the questionnaire includes the work progress of central banks on digital currency, the motivation of studying digital currency and the possibility of issuing digital currency. 70% of central banks said they are (or will be) involved in the research of digital currency

1. Currency digitization and digital currency are not the same thing, so don't confuse them
2. There may be legal digital currency in China in the future, but it must be issued by the Central Bank of China
3. Bitcoin is not a currency. Currency is a credit symbol issued by the Central Bank of a sovereign country. Bitcoin is a speculative target, which is not recognized by major countries in the world.
It is not currently available
at present, the Central Bank of China has not issued and approved the digital currency of issuers and investors
However, at the beginning of the year, the central bank held a seminar on digital currency, at which it made it clear that it was necessary to issue digital currency as soon as possible, and the central bank put the issue of digital currency on the agendahowever, so far, the central bank has not issued any digital currency, and Zhou Xiaochuan, the governor of the central bank, said that the time is not ripe to issue digital currency. Moreover, the digital currency issued by the central bank is different from bitcoin, Ruitai, Laite and other digital cryptocurrencies, and the digital currency issued by the central bank is not decentralized
when the central bank issues digital currency, it needs to establish a basic digital currency system. In this system, the central bank is in charge of the digital currency issuing bank, the commercial bank is in charge of the bank, and the public and indivials hold digital wallets. This is not much different from the existing monetary system in essence, but the managed currency is changed from paper money to digital cryptocurrency
in terms of issuing mechanism, there are two modes:
one is the traditional mode of "central bank commercial bank", that is, the central bank issues digital currency from the issuing bank of the central bank to the Bank of the commercial bank. When an indivial withdraws money from the commercial bank, the digital currency is transferred from the commercial bank to the personal digital wallet
another mode is the "central bank public" mode, that is, the central bank can directly issue digital currency from the currency issuing bank to the digital wallet of the public and indivials. In essence, no matter which issuing mode, money is ultimately held by the public, which is the debt of the central bank to the public
