Central Bank launches digital currency decp

1.

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

in 2014, the Central Bank of China set up a special research team to conct in-depth research on the framework of digital currency issuance and business operation, key technologies of digital currency, issuance and circulation environment, and legal issues

in January 2017, the central bank officially established the digital currency Research Institute in Shenzhen

in September 2018, the Institute of digital currency built a trade finance blockchain platform

On July 8, 2019, at the launching ceremony of the digital finance open research program and the first academic seminar, Wang Xin, director of the Research Bureau of the people's Bank of China, disclosed that the State Council has officially approved the research and development of the central bank's digital currency, and the central bank is engaged in corresponding work in organizing market institutions

extended data:

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

2. On January 5, the pilot use of digital RMB in Shanghai realized Hard Wallet payment without mobile phone for the first time, and the development of digital RMB is accelerating

however, this move has aroused people's concern about bitcoin, and they even think that digital RMB will replace bitcoin

the central bank's digital currency represents the digitization of RMB cash. More reflected in improving the efficiency of domestic small high-frequency transactions, thus playing a role in replacing RMB cash, thus consolidating China's monetary sovereignty

however, bitcoin is a currency based on blockchain technology, which has a limit on the total amount of issuance and cannot be over issued

last time I talked about this with people from Yingfu University of Finance and economics. Because there is a fundamental difference between digital personal name coin and bitcoin, it will not bring much impact on the price trend of bitcoin.

3. The specific time has not been determined, but it has been concerned for three years
more than three years ago, the people's Bank of China started to organize a seminar on digital currency, and then set up the digital currency Research Institute of the central bank. The latest action is to jointly organize distributed R & D with the instry and cooperate with the market

the name of R & D used by the central bank is DCEP, which is actually electronic payment. What is paid is digital, not paper money. Digital money also has monetary attributes. The study of digital currency is not to realize the application of a certain technical solution, but to pursue the convenience and low cost of retail payment system, as well as security and privacy protection
the digital currencies of bitcoin, wikilink and Ethereum provide some reference for the digital currencies issued by the central bank, especially blockchain.

To guard against the possible risks brought by bitcoin, we know that digital currency represented by bitcoin has high risks. This kind of risk is mainly reflected in two aspects: first, the limitation of digital currency makes it used as investment goods, and the price is extremely unstable. Those who do not understand the principle of digital currency and pay too much attention to speculation are easy to suffer losses for various reasons

Secondly, national digital currency is linked to its own legal currency to a certain extent, so it effectively avoids the price volatility of bitcoin. Because the CBDC issued by our country is guaranteed by the credit of the central bank, it must be a stable currency. In today's international situation, the research and development of digital currency in China is of great significance. The introction of digital currency is not an expedient measure, it has become the development direction of China's future currency

5.

The central bank has recently been planning to launch & lt; Digital currency & quot; Now, some people think that since digital currency is going to be launched, does it mean that paper money will be replaced? In fact, paper money still has a place

01. The introction of digital currency conforms to the development trend of the times< p> in daily life, the use of cash is less and less , many of us now go out without cash, and there are more and more payment software. At the beginning, a treasure and a letter occupied half of the country, but now many people also start to use other payment software, and are no longer limited to these two kinds

when I used to go out, I used to go out with a certain treasure and a certain letter, but now I have a UnionPay. Every time I buy something, I can get a little discount. So, as long as conditions permit, I usually use UnionPay to pay. As an old saying goes, & lt; A little makes a lot;, Although each free amount is not much, but can not bear the large number of ah, in school, our school also has this payment software activities, a top ten, equivalent to white whoring a bowl of rice at noon, how good, so, UnionPay now in my heart also occupies a big position

summary:

it is impossible for digital currency to completely replace paper money, because many people still need paper money. I don't want my own capital flow to be clearly controlled by others in the future, and I need some private space

6. Digital currency generally refers to bitcoin, lightcoin, Puyin, dogcoin, Ethereum and other digital cryptocurrencies
according to media reports, before the Spring Festival, the blockchain based digital bill trading platform promoted by the people's Bank of China has been successfully tested. After the Spring Festival, the digital currency Research Institute of the central bank will also be officially listed. This means that the people's Bank of China will become the first central bank to study digital currency and its real application.

7. DCEP, when will digital currency be issued? At present, the 11th batch of central banks have announced the issuance, and have found several pilot cities, such as Suzhou and Hangzhou

8. There will be two situations. One is that there will be a globally recognized digital currency, which can circulate in the world. Another situation is the emergence of a super strong situation, just like the current international situation. This kind of digital currency may be issued by a powerful country or alliance, and other countries will also have their own digital currency, but it mainly plays a supporting role. Bitcoin, Ruitai coin and vitality coin may only exist as an asset class at that time.

9. The traditional currency is "currency", that is, it can exchange any commodity, and its use is unrestricted. Because it does not carry information, it is difficult to trace. If the traditional currency expands with the growth of data, it will lose the function of value measurement, that is, it will become waste paper. However, digital currency is different. Although it is also "currency", it can carry information, so it has stability and can be used as the "anchor" of data assets rather than being "carried away" by data assets
in fact, the core attribute of bitcoin, which was the first to practice the concept of digital currency, is that the total amount of bitcoin can be controlled, so it can be used to measure the value of other commodities rather than being determined by other commodities. Of course, in terms of nature, bitcoin is a specific virtual commodity, which does not have the same legal status as currency and cannot and should not be used as currency in the market
therefore, from a strategic perspective, under the background that informatization and digitization have become one of the main trends of economic development, the issuance of sovereign digital currency is the general trend.
