Application of digital currency

I. fast, economic and safe payment and settlement

cross border payment helps RMB internationalization. In 2015, the settlement volume of cross-border payment involving current account is about 8 trillion yuan. To accelerate the internationalization of RMB, cross-border payment and settlement procts and solutions with low cost, high efficiency and low risk are needed

At present, there are still a lot of repetitive human work in the bank's electronic loan process and processing process, and as the basic support of loan issuance, many of the collateral has the situation of false pricing or multiple or even no collateral.

Hello, where are the first batch of pilot cities of the central bank's digital currency? Do you think they are well deserved super first tier cities "Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen"? I want to tell you that it's not all right. Except Shenzhen, the other three cities are Cheng, Suzhou and xiong'an new area. At present, Shenzhen is the earliest city to launch digital currency. On October 9, Shenzhen issued 10 million digital currency. 50000 people, 200 yuan per person, can enjoy the welfare, which is distributed to everyone free of charge through the way of wagging number. Here, I can only envy you. The implementation of digital currency is so fast. The friends in the pilot cities are lucky. I just want to watch you win the lottery

the first batch of pilot cities are selected in these four cities, which is the first step for digital currency to go to the whole country. When it matures in the future, it will be promoted to more pilot cities. So don't worry, just wait. Even if our city is not a pilot, it doesn't matter. Next time it will be our city. The pilot is just to test the stability of the system, and we don't have a great chance to get the red envelope of digital currency. There are so many people in Shenzhen, and only 50000 numbers are selected. Here we would like to express our support and thanks to the cities selected as the pilot cities of digital currency

3. The central bank's digital currency is the legal digital currency approved by the State Council. The central bank organizes market institutions to engage in the corresponding work of the central bank's digital currency research and development

2019 August 21st, the official account of WeChat central bank released two articles on digital currency.

4. Digital currency is a kind of legal encrypted digital currency, which is not only a payment tool but also a currency. It is essentially different from Alipay and WeChat payment. Alipay, WeChat payment and mobile phone banks are all electronic money, not digital money. These are all payment methods based on electronic accounts, which are in essence just a process of informatization of legal currency, not digital currency in a strict sense
moreover, it is totally different from q-coin and bitcoin. Commonly known as q-coin and bitcoin, these belong to virtual currency. Compared with digital currency, the most fundamental difference lies in the difference of issuers

virtual currency is the electronization of illegal currency. The issuer is not the central bank, and it can only circulate in a specific virtual environment, such as Tencent Q coin and other game coins; Digital currency can be used for real goods and services transactions, but only the digital currency issued by the state is legal digital currency, bitcoin is illegal digital currency

5.

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 agenda

however, 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

< H2 > extended data:

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

6. Digital currency is an alternative currency in the form of electronic currency, which can be used for real goods and services transactions. Digital currency has the main characteristics of network packets. This kind of data packet is composed of data code and identification code. The data code is the content to be transmitted, while the identification code indicates where the data packet comes from and goes.
