What is digital currency gateway payment
digital currency is also different from virtual currency. For example, the well-known Q coin and the money recharged in various games are virtual currency. These virtual currencies can only be purchased with real currency, but cannot be converted into real currency
in the world, bitcoin is probably the most famous digital currency. In addition, there are "Wright coin", "Dog Coin" and "Yuan Bao coin" in China.
the three party payment tools such as digital currency and Alipay and WeChat payment are different. The payment of Alipay and WeChat is a well-known third party payment tool in China. Digital money is also possible in theory, but the market share of digital money in the field of payment is still very low.

digital currency can be considered as a virtual currency based on node network and digital encryption algorithm. The core characteristics of digital currency are mainly reflected in three aspects:
1. Due to some open algorithms, digital currency has no issuing subject, so no one or organization can control its issuing
Because the number of algorithm solutions is determined, the total amount of digital currency is fixed, which fundamentally eliminates the possibility of inflation caused by the overuse of virtual currency3. Because the transaction process needs the approval of each node in the network, the transaction process of digital currency is safe enough
Digital currency is a kind of legal tender, which must be issued by the central bank. Both digital gold coin and cryptocurrency belong to digital currency, which is not a network virtual currency, because it is not limited to virtual space, but is often used for real goods and services transactions, such as bitcoin, Wright coin, bitstock, etc. at present, there are thousands of digital currencies issued around the world

1. Impact on financial infrastructure
the decentralized mechanism of value exchange based on distributed ledger technology has changed the basic settings of gross and net settlement on which financial market infrastructure depends. The use of distributed ledgers also poses challenges to trading, clearing and settlement, as it promotes the disintermediation of traditional service providers in different markets and infrastructures. These changes may have potential impacts on market infrastructure other than retail payment systems, such as large payment systems, securities settlement systems or trading databases
If digital currency and distributed ledger based technology are widely used, it will bring challenges to the intermediary role of financial system participants, especially banks. As a financial intermediary, banks perform the ties of acting supervisors and supervise borrowers on behalf of depositors. Usually, banks also carry out liquidity and maturity conversion business to realize the financing from depositors to borrowers. If digital currency and distributed ledger are widely used, any subsequent disintermediation may have an impact on savings or credit evaluation mechanismsmany partners who are more interested in investment and financial management may also hear about some digital currencies such as blockchain in their daily life, and there are various subdivisions for these blockchains for example, the blockchain model with or without currency or some data or digital currency will have different performance. From the current point of view, whether some methods of raising some funds through initial issuance are legal or not, such behavior has always existed with the development of blockchain. Moreover, there are no relevant regulations in the law, so there are no clear provisions on whether this kind of behavior is legal or not
we know some concepts of blockchain, but most of them are words like decentralization or leverage. However, the whole operation mode of non currency blockchain is inconsistent with these definitions in principle . Therefore, when you hear about some non currency blockchain, you will feel that this mode is against the law or against the traditional financial investment. There is a great difference between this kind of non currency blockchain and the traditional blockchain, so it can not be called a real blockchain
In recent years, the rise of financial technology drives the digital and intelligent development of finance, and the form of money is also evolving. Recently, the news of digital currency has attracted people's attention, and there is still a lot of gap with the current online payment
