practical significance
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
can also become a new monetary policy tool. At the same time, the central bank can affect the bank's deposit and loan interest rate by adjusting the central bank's digital currency interest rate, and help break the zero interest rate lower limit
operation system
fan Yifei, vice governor of the people's Bank of China, said in the article that the digital currency of the people's Bank of China should adopt a two-tier operation system. This model does not change the relationship between creditor's rights and debt of currency in circulation, does not change the existing money supply system and al account structure, does not constitute a competition for commercial banks' deposit currency, and does not increase commercial banks' dependence on the interbank lending market
will not affect the lending ability of commercial banks, and will not lead to the phenomenon of "financial disintermediation". At the same time, because it does not affect the existing monetary policy transmission mechanism, it will not strengthen the pro cyclical effect under the pressure environment, and it can improve the convenience and security of payment, and it also has the credit advantage of central bank endorsement
On November 9, 2019, the central bank has not launched digital currency

benefits of 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.
on September 4, the central bank and other seven ministries and commissions issued the notice on preventing the financing risk of token issuance, and the ICO trading platform was completely suspended. After September 14, the relevant token platforms successively removed procts or stopped trading. After the news came out, digital currency was boiling
some people can't help asking: with the collapse of ICO and the closure of bitcoin platform, is digital currency over? Here the central bank gives the answer. The central bank reports that around the Spring Festival this year, the block chain based digital bill trading platform promoted by the central bank has been tested successfully, and the digital currency Research Institute of the central bank will also be officially listed. China's sovereign digital currency will accelerate its arrival. Then some people will question whether China will proce its own bitcoin? Here, let's talk about what is digital currency:
digital currency
digital currency is different from virtual currency, not bitcoin or q-coin! That is to say, it is different from virtual currencies such as bitcoin and Ethernet
virtual currency can only be closed in circulation on the network, just like Tencent's q-coin and Dashen's coin on the platform of Dashen software collaborative instry ecological chain. They can only be used for one use of their own procts. 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. As for legal digital currency, there is no unified international definition. Yao Qian, deputy director of the science and Technology Department of the people's Bank of China and head of the preparatory group of the digital currency Research Institute, believes that the digital currency researched and issued by the people's Bank of China is indexed RMB. From the perspective of national schemes, it belongs to legal encrypted digital currency, which is not only a payment tool but also a currency. Correspondingly, virtual currency is also called illegal fixed digital currency. Li Lihui, head of the blockchain working group of China Internet Finance Association, once said that digital currency must have legal status, national sovereignty endorsement, and clear responsibility subject of issuance. Virtual currencies represented by bitcoin and ethereal currency have no country, no sovereign endorsement, no qualified issuers, and no national credit support. These are not digital currencies.
