Central bank's digital currency reaps people's wealth
On November 9, 2019, the central bank has not launched digital currency
in 2014, the Central Bank of China set up a special research team to conct in-depth research on the framework of digital currency issuance and business operation, key technologies of digital currency, issuance and circulation environment, and legal issues
in January 2017, the central bank officially established the digital currency Research Institute in Shenzhen
in September 2018, the Institute of digital currency built a trade finance blockchain platform
On July 8, 2019, at the launching ceremony of the digital finance open research program and the first academic seminar, Wang Xin, director of the Research Bureau of the people's Bank of China, disclosed that the State Council has officially approved the research and development of the central bank's digital currency, and the central bank is engaged in corresponding work in organizing market institutions
extended data:
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
since the great development of domestic online payment, the central bank has been promoting the research and development of data currency, recing the issue of paper currency and issuing it in the form of electronic currency
in view of the nature of currency, sovereign countries all over the world are the same, and other entities are not allowed to issue legal currency. So we saw fcaebook issue Libra virtual currency based on blockchain, and the US government also expressed concern. Zuckerberg attended questions in Congress many times
electronization is indeed a trend, but all countries can only allow the central bank to take the lead. After the digital currency photo of ABC test appeared in the market yesterday, the stock market also had some waves. The central bank's enthusiasm for digital currency has always been strong, so the development of e-currency and subsequent real issuance should be ahead of other countries
of course, the enthusiasm of the central bank is also based on the situation that the domestic electronic payment is leading the world, and the payment habit of Chinese people has been formed. In the future, it will be another scene if it is expanded under the appropriate scene. The digital currency of the central bank is the replacement of paper money
its functions and properties are exactly the same as paper money, but its form is digital. We define it as "digital payment instrument with value characteristics"
the application scenario of digital currency is like this: as long as two people have DCEP digital wallets on their mobile phones, there is no need to connect to the network. As long as the mobile phone is a little bit, when two mobile phones touch each other, the digital currency in one person's digital wallet can be transferred to another person, that is, there is no need to bind any bank account, Unlike now, WeChat and Alipay need to bind a bank card, but DCEP doesn't need it.
this means that DCEP can circulate like paper money. But how is it different from bitcoin and other digital currencies?
the central bank's digital currency belongs to legal currency. Like cash, the central bank's digital currency has unlimited legal compensation, that is to say, you can't refuse to accept DCEP, which is backed by the central bank and the whole national system
now many private Payment institutions or platforms will set up various payment barriers, such as WeChat's money can not be transferred to Alipay, Alipay's money can not be transferred to WeChat, but for the central bank's digital currency, as long as the use of electronic payment places, it must accept the central bank's digital currency.
so how do indivials need to invest in DCEP?
at present, DCEP is probably equal to RMB, so the appreciation space can not be said to be small. Its value is equivalent to RMB, and it is equivalent to people who speculate in foreign exchange can participate in its investment, and it will certainly not float as much as other blockchain virtual currencies, which will certainly disrupt the financial system of the whole country, Since the state can guarantee the stability of RMB exchange rate, it is believed that the stability of legal currency can also be guaranteed
at present, all countries and institutions have plans to launch their own digital currency. The most famous one is lbra launched by Facebook. For the launch of digital currency, we also cross the river by feeling the stone. Any financial innovation has its deep meaning, which is promoting the reform of the whole society.
2019 August 21st, the official account of WeChat central bank released two articles on digital currency.
all virtual currencies of digital currency are illegal in China
