The digital currency of the central bank is DCEP

the name of the digital currency developed by the central bank is DCEP (digital currency electronic payment). DC is digital currency. EP is electronic payment. Payment transmits digital things through a certain way, not paper currency. Therefore, electronic payment itself has the attribute of digital currency

The characteristics of digital currency are: low transaction cost; Fast trading speed; Highly anonymous

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. We can consider using digital currency to price and track bank collateral:

3. Bill finance and supply chain finance

However, about 70% of the current bill businesses in China are still paper transactions, Supply chain finance is also highly dependent on labor costs

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

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

4. Viewpoint: digital currency exists to replace paper money, and it will become a trend in the future< p> Although for & quot; Digital currency & quot; This term is already familiar to many people, but I believe most people do not know very well what this is for. Even a lot of people will equate the digital currency with WeChat or Alipay, which is not accurate. So, I'd like to take this topic to talk about digital currency in simple and easy words

so, what's the significance of this digital currency? Why do you have to work hard to do this? For most people, it really won't have any impact, but for a small number of people, it will have a great impact. This small group of people are those who engage in illegal activities

for example, if some people are corrupt and accept bribes, they specify that they can't let others put money on the bank card. That means they are directly arrested, but they can't be found with cash. If we restrict the large amount of cash consumption in the future, for example, if you have to spend more than 5000 at one time, you can't use cash, you need to use digital currency. In this way, those who have bribed tens of millions of cash in their families may not want to spend all their money in their lifetime. And their illegal income doesn't go to the society. It's just paper. They still occupy space at home. Once they start to spend money in digital currency, it's easy to find out. That is to say, all our income will be counted. Once they are involved in crimes, it's easy to be caught. At that time, there will be less Telecom fraud, This is the meaning of digital currency

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. This has both advantages and disadvantages. It mainly depends on the cost of replacing paper currency with digital currency. Although counterfeit currency has a greater impact, the potential danger brought by digital currency cannot be underestimated. I don't think the real digital currency can be realized. If the world's hackers have political purposes, it is easy for a country's economy to collapse. As a big country, I think the country should consider it carefully.

7. According to media reports, before the Spring Festival, the blockchain based digital bill trading platform promoted by the people's Bank of China has been successfully tested. After the Spring Festival, the digital currency Research Institute of the central bank will also be officially listed. This means that the people's Bank of China will become the first central bank to study digital currency and its real application
the central bank's version of digital currency will first be applied to the bill market. The central bank's version of digital currency is different from the traditional digital currency. The central bank's version of digital currency has monetary attributes.
