Can the digital currency issued by the central government be bou
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.
As of 2019, the digital currency seminar of the people's Bank of China was held in Beijing to further clarify the strategic objectives of the central bank's issuance of digital currency, do a good job in tackling key technologies, study the multi scenario application of digital currency, and strive to launch the digital currency issued by the central bank as soon as possible. At present, it is under study, and many problems need to be improved slowly
digital currency is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, the blockchain technology it relies on has been decentralized and can be used in other fields except digital currency, which is one of the reasons why bitcoin is popular; On the other hand, if digital currency is widely used by the public as a kind of currency, it will have a huge impact on the effectiveness of monetary policy, financial infrastructure, financial market and financial stability
If digital currency is accepted by the public, its use will increase greatly and replace legal currency to a certain extent, then negative events such as network attacks on user terminals related to digital currency will cause currency fluctuation, which will have an impact on financial order and real economyin addition, the virtual currency based on blockchain technology is usually held by a few people at the beginning. For example, the first purchase of bitcoin in May 2010 was $25 pizza purchased by 10000 BTC, and the price of each bitcoin rose to $1200 in more than three years by the end of 2013
currently under study, many problems need to be improved slowly. Wait.
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
although the issuing method of digital currency is still under study, paper currency has been regarded as "the currency of the previous generation" by some professionals, and it is the general trend to be replaced by new technologies and procts. He Maochun predicted that when the era of digital currency really comes, people will carry less and less cash, travel more and more safe, poverty alleviation more and more accurate, corruption more and more difficult to escape, and thieves more and more difficult to be
on the other hand, the application-oriented digital currency based on the token of coin profit China platform is also emerging.
of course, there are some companies in China trying to combine digital currency with real assets. For example, coin Ying China has applied digital currency to crowdfunding to make digital currency serve the real economy.
