Promote the integration of digital currency and capital market
If you want to participate in the transaction of digital currency, you must understand the digital currency ecosystem
It can be said that digital currency exchange is the most important part of the whole instry. Digital currency exchange provides investors and traders with the capital channel to buy and sell digital currency. At the same time, the trading activities of the exchange determine the price of many digital assetsaccording to coinmarketcap, the capital flow of digital currency exchanges is huge, with the average daily trading volume of the top five exchanges exceeding US $3 billion
there are hundreds of digital currency exchanges around the world, some of which operate globally in mainstream markets, while some focus on niche markets
for example, AAX is committed to providing services for digital currency traders and institutional investors, integrating the digital currency world with the global economy, and providing unparalleled first-class technical capabilities using the matchmaking engine supported by lseg technology
many substitutes have successfully occupied a certain market share shortly after their launch. What digital currency exchanges have in common is that they together provide the development soil for these alternative currencies
digital currency is no longer limited to bitcoin. Other digital currency assets, such as eth, XRP, BCH, usdt, LTC, EOS, xtz, etc., have a place in the portfolio and diversification strategies of many digital currency dealers
At present, there are many similarities between digital currency trading and foreign exchange trading, because the basic principles, tools, indicators and strategies used in foreign exchange are also applicable to digital currency trading. AAX College's digital currency trading section discusses these topics in depth and extensivelyblockchain protocol
blockchain is the underlying technology that makes digital currency possible. There are many kinds of blockchain protocols, and the technical characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of each protocol are slightly different
for example, bitcoin blockchain relies on mining and pow (proof of work) mechanism to process transactions, while another blockchain may use dpos (proof of entrustment) mechanism instead of mining. In addition to bitcoin blockchain, other noteworthy protocols include eth, hyperledger, EOS, XLM, Iost, kin, TRX and stem. Among these blockchain agreements, ETH (Ethereum) is commendable in promoting the rapid innovation of the entire digital currency ecosystem
Ethereum platform was created by vitalik buterin, which indicates that developers can make better use of the resources of the platform by using their own programming language solidity. Ethereum has made blockchain technology all the rage, creating a new world of innovative decentralized applications on the basis of smart contracts and custom tokens. At present, most of the substitutes are based on Ethereum's erc20 standard
the district centered financial movement, or defi for short, is also basically based on the Ethereum blockchain agreement
financial services
for every service in traditional finance, Ethereum based defi applications have corresponding alternative versions for everyone to access. The defi app allows users to create stable currencies, lend money and earn interest, send and receive payments, get loans, trade, take positions in the forecast market, enter the real estate sector, and so on. Smart contracts are the key to making decentralized services possible. Once certain conditions are met, the smart contract will automatically perform the pre agreed activities
at the same time, traditional finance also began to provide new customized services for the field of digital currency. At present, some fund managers provide investors with the option of adding digital currency into their portfolios, the trustee provides security services for investors who invest a lot of money in digital currency, and many analysts in mainstream media (such as Bloomberg) also have a strong interest in digital currency
digital currency hardware
for those who like to build their own security measures, the huge digital currency hardware market can provide professional traders and long-term holders with the tools they need. Trezor and ledger are the most famous hardware wallets. They essentially provide the same value for digital currency traders, that is, a more secure way to store digital currency
of course, digital currencies stored in hardware wallets cannot be traded in the market. Therefore, digital currency traders usually allocate funds between the hardware wallet and the exchange according to a certain ratio according to their own trading style preference
There are so many activities ofdata aggregators and blockchain analysis
cross blockchain, which proces a large amount of data, and also spawns the emergence of sub instries, namely data aggregators and blockchain analysis instries. Companies such as coinmarketcap are the preferred source for quick inspection of digital currency and exchange data. They collect statistics on trading volume, liquidity, market value, price trend, circulation and the whole instry, such as the total amount of money, the number of markets, the market value of the instry and the proportion of BTC market value
people who are more interested in blockchain analysis can find the required data in websites like blocktivity. Here, you can view the relevant data of each indivial blockchain agreement, including the number of operations in the last 24 hours, the average number of operations in the last 7 days, the market value and Cui index, that is, the remaining available capacity after the actual usage of the current blockchain agreement. All in all, these websites can provide valuable insights for the blockchain instry
for example, the average number of operations of Ethereum in the past seven days was 667000, with Cui slightly higher than 50%, while the average number of operations of EOS in the same time range was 63 million, with Cui slightly lower than 50%. Technically, the performance of EOS protocol is more powerful than that of Ethereum. However, this can not prevent Ethereum from occupying 70% of the total market value of the most mainstream currencies
digital currency media and conferences
in today's world, almost everyone is the publisher of content. Without we media instry, such a large-scale instry will no longer exist. Digital currency has given birth to a wide range of media patterns, covering news media, KOL and related conferences for currency, public chain and code
digital currency head media include coindesk, cointegration, bitcoin magazine, decrypt, CCN, bitcoinist, newsbtc, etc. Some KOLs are also well-known, sometimes even more popular than the news media
YouTube celebrities, such as datadash, dollar villante, altcoin buzz, Ivan on tech and boxmining, have subscribers from 200K to 300K. In the field of digital currency trading, the top stars of cryptotwitter include venture coinist, cryptocred and cryptodon alt, with 211k, 140k and 120K fans respectively
if you want to have face-to-face communication with companies and people, digital currency and blockchain meetings should not be missed. Every year, there are many conferences around the world for investors, blockchain experts, start-ups, institutional financing, currency or agreement related communities. In 2019 alone, we sponsored and participated in blockchain live in London, the capital summit hosted by coinmarketcap in Singapore and the world mobile conference in Shanghai. We have had exciting meetings with other digital currency companies and major financial institutions, and established contacts with regulators from different jurisdictions
digital currency supervision
with the continuous growth of the market and audience of digital currency instry, in most cases, financial regulators are still developing relevant frameworks to protect investors and consumers. Regulators may take a very different approach, which is a challenge for companies operating across multiple jurisdictions
ring the ICO boom in 2017 and 2018, many projects were launched before the regulatory framework was established, while some projects did not meet the criteria of the jurisdiction and were suspended ring the fund-raising process. All this comes from how to classify digital assets, and the understanding of classification is constantly changing. At present, we divide digital assets into security token and practical token
in the past year, with the proposal of Libra, the promotion of supervision is also increasing. The central bank is also actively exploring the significance of blockchain technology to its policies and economic activities, and constantly publishing reports
the rapid development of digital money ecosystem
these components of digital money ecosystem are growing and developing in an orderly way, contributing to the increasingly sound instry. From the minority interest in 2009 to the active digital asset economy, digital currency has come a long way
However, in order to achieve the development and wide participation of the instry, a strong ecosystem is not enough. We need a better link between digital money and global finance. The better the combination of digital currency and traditional finance, the easier it will be for newcomers to understand the digital currency ecosystemfor every novice, as exchanges, financial services, media and regulators graally adapt to the expectations of mainstream consumers, the digital currency instry will further develop, which may improve investment outcomes
In early 2014, the Central Bank of China set up a special research group on legal digital currency to demonstrate the feasibility of issuing legal digital currency by the central bank. On January 29, 2017, the central bank officially established the digital currency Research Institute. After the successful development of the prototype of legal digital currency, the digital currency Research Institute of the people's Bank of China has tried to deploy institutions in many parts of the country, and through the integration with R & D institutions and instries, it has achieved the research results of financial development technology. In 2018, the digital currency Research Institute of the people's Bank of China successively settled in Nanjing and Shenzhen. In 2019, the people's Bank of China announced that digital currency will be piloted in Shenzhen, Suzhou, Cheng and xiong'an

At the third anniversary of the establishment of xiong'an new area, xiong'an blockchain laboratory has special significance, which marks that the innovative practice of xiong'an New Area's blockchain has entered the stage of organization and large-scale landing, and marks a new chapter in the synchronous planning and construction of digital city and physical city in xiong'an new area
xiong'an new district is a digital city forest that has been cultivated from the seed, which is naturally suitable for the central bank's digital currency pilot. Shanghai xiongan, Shenzhen, Cheng on the left and Suzhou on the right are looking forward to the central bank's digital currency pilot projects in these four places, which will spread to the world
The digital RMB red envelope of 10 million yuan issued by Shenzhen city has brought the development of e-money back to the people's vision
in fact, since April 2020, small-scale pilot projects of digital RMB have been carried out in Shenzhen, Cheng, Suzhou and xiong'an, and the pilot scale will be expanded to 28 provinces and cities in August 2020
as a socially recognized "super outlet", in addition to the high investment of digital currency related enterprises, its impact on the financial market is also of great research value
Policy evolution of the development of digital RMBas early as 2014, the central bank has concted research layout on digital RMB, and discussed the development framework of digital RMB with major international financial institutions and research institutions in the 2016 digital currency seminar
after six years of development, China has initially developed the "pbctfp blockchain platform" and continuously promoted the pilot activities of digital RMB. It can be predicted that as today's technology and policy outlet, digital RMB will have excellent development prospects and extremely fast development speed in the next few years
Figure 1: Policy Evolution of digital RMB
with the improvement of China's national strength, digital RMB provides an opportunity to establish a "new system of RMB cross border settlement", which can promote RMB payment activities around the world and realize the internationalization of RMB
digital currency is an alternative to electronic currency. Both digital gold coin and password currency belong to digital currency. Digital currency can be basically divided into three categories:
1. Game currency that everyone is very familiar with. At first, the game currency obtained by players in stand-alone games can only be used by themselves in the game. With the establishment of the Internet portal and community, and the realization of game networking, these digital currencies have a "financial market". Players can directly trade freely, and can also trade online and offline
2. The special currency issued by the portal website or instant messaging service provider is used to purchase the services in the website. The main representative is QQ coin, which can be used in QQ's own mall
3. The most representative digital currency is the encrypted digital currency on the Internet, such as bitcoin, lightcoin, dogcoin, etc. represented by bitcoin, it is an electronic currency generated by open-source P2P software, which can query the source and circulation by using blockchain technology, and is an open-source encrypted, circulating and trading digital currency. It is mainly used for Internet financial investment, and can also be directly used in daily life as a new currency< What are the benefits of digital currency
it is not unreasonable that the central bank is preparing to study the issue of digital currency. Issuing digital currency can rece the high cost of issuing and circulating traditional banknotes; Enhance the convenience and transparency of economic transaction activities; Rece money laundering, tax evasion and other criminal activities; Enhance the central bank's control over money supply and circulation; To better support economic and social development and help Inclusive Finance realize in an all-round way; It also helps to build a new financial infrastructure, further improve the payment system, enhance the efficiency of payment and clearing, and promote the upgrading of economic quality and efficiency
the overall benefits are cost rection, convenient supervision and favorable to the financial system. In addition, what are the benefits to our common people, investors and major enterprises
now is the age of Internet, the evolution of currency is an inevitable trend, and currency digitization is undoubtedly in line with the trend of social development
nowadays, there are digital currencies of different sizes in the market. Although these digital currencies can not be regarded as legal currencies, they are more used as a financial investment project and a new technology in the future. Not only that, bitcoin, the first digital currency, circulates in every corner of the world just like money, but also has the characteristics of transaction, collection and convertibility. We can exchange digital currency for any country's currency, or use digital currency to buy offline real goods. At the same time, we can also do online payment like Microsoft and steam. People use it to pay, buy goods and exchange money; Investors use it for financial management and investment; Enterprises use it to develop more uses, constantly innovate science and technology, or promote their own procts. With the continuous progress of science and technology and the continuous development of digital Internet, the benefits of digital currency or the instries and technologies derived from digital currency are unimaginable in the future.
therefore, as the world's second largest economy, we need to develop and implement digital currency
the above are my personal suggestions, which I hope will be helpful to your questions.
The rise of financial technology promotes the digital and intelligent development of finance, and the form of money is also developing. With the rapid development of information network communication technology, electronic payment has been popularized rapidly, and legal digital currency is also developing< China vigorously promotes digital currency, and the development of digital currency has great positive significance for China's economic development
finally, it is difficult for users to feel the difference between digital RMB payment and third-party payment in their daily consumption. In comparison, the use of digital RMB payment is more convenient than the third-party payment , and digital RMB payment is not limited by the network and payment scenarios. Digital RMB is the financial infrastructure built by the state, and there is no charge for the cashing and redemption of digital RMB. Digital RMB can be used to pay third-party payments. However, for those who need convenient electronic payment, people without financial accounts can also use digital RMB< Digital RMB supports controllable anonymity, which can better protect users' privacy
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 besides 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, financial stability and so on. Specific Wu Xiaoxia:
1. Impact on monetary policy
if digital currency is widely accepted and can play the role of currency, it will weaken the effectiveness of monetary policy and bring difficulties to policy-making
because digital currency issuers are usually unregulated third parties, money is created outside the banking system, and the amount of circulation depends entirely on the wishes of the issuers, which will lead to the instability of money supply. In addition, the authorities are unable to monitor the issuance and circulation of digital currency, which will lead to the inability to accurately judge the economic operation and bring trouble to policy-making, At the same time, it will weaken the effectiveness of policy transmission and implementation
2. Impact on financial infrastructure. 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
3. The impact on financial intermediation and financial market in a broad sense. As a financial intermediary, banks perform the ties of acting supervisors and supervise borrowers on behalf of depositors
generally, 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 mechanisms
4. The impact of security risks and financial stability
assuming that digital currency is recognized by the public, its use increases significantly and replaces legal currency to a certain extent, negative events such as network attacks on user terminals related to digital currency will lead to currency fluctuations, which will have an impact on the financial order and the real economy
in 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
