Digital currency launched

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

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. 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. Recently, the central bank has made new progress in issuing digital currency. It is understood that the blockchain based digital bill trading platform promoted by the central bank has been successfully tested, the legal digital currency issued by the central bank has been put into trial operation on the platform, and the digital currency Research Institute of the central bank will be officially listed after the Spring Festival.

4. 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.

5. Bank of China has not launched or plans to launch any digital currency, let alone specific events. In China, the major commercial banks have drawn a clear line with digital currency for a long time. Although the attitude towards digital currency is not so cold now, the law is still not prohibited. However, the central bank held a digital currency seminar earlier this year and planned to launch its own digital currency, which is different from cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, Ruitai and Laite.

A few days ago, some media reported that in the future, once the legal digital currency really runs, the application scenarios will penetrate into all aspects of social life, but its real launch will take time

At the same time, the issuance of legal digital currency will greatly increase the number of point-to-point transactions, bypassing the original regulatory system to a certain extent, which is easy to facilitate illegal transactions. As digital currency makes it very convenient to convert deposits into cash, financial panic and financial risk will accelerate the spread once they occur, which increases the difficulty of supervision

In addition, in the process of using legal digital currency, a large number of user data and transaction information will be obtained. How to store and manage these data to prevent the disclosure and illegal use of user information is also an important challenge. No matter from the perspective of technology or security, it is difficult to have a great impact on monetary policy and payment mode in the short term

Why has it been so long since digital currency was officially launched in several urban areas? The reason why we haven't seen the official launch time is that the launch of digital currency is not an easy thing. We need to consider a lot of reliable things. Although there are so many pilot cities, we also need to be prepared for some things that will happen after the launch. We can't launch it directly until there is no problem, If we don't know the market situation, it will do any good to China's economic development and even drag down China's economic development. Therefore, even if we have experimented in so many places, I still feel that we need to wait for a period of time to see the specific situation of the market before deciding on digital currency{ RRRRR}

generally speaking, to tell the truth, in order to ensure the safety of everyone and ensure the safety of digital RMB, we will choose to postpone the time to check all the errors and solve the difficulties, so as to have a deterrent effect. These problems have appeared in the process of promoting central digital RMB, So many experts need to solve this problem on digital RMB, so they didn't tell the official launch time
