the central bank said that the so-called "digital currency" in the market is not legal digital currency:
the central bank's monetary Bureau issued a "risk warning on issuing or promoting digital currency in the name of the people's Bank of China" on its official website, saying that recently, indivial enterprises falsely use the name of the central bank, The relevant digital procts are labeled as "authorized issuance by the people's Bank of China", or the central bank's digital currency promotion team is falsely claimed, in an attempt to deceive the public and take the opportunity to make huge profits
the central bank said that the central bank has not issued legal digital currency, nor authorized any institutions and enterprises to issue legal digital currency, and there is no promotion team. At present, the so-called "digital currency" in the market is not legal digital currency. The central bank also suggested that the so-called "digital currency" launched by some institutions and enterprises and the so-called promotion of the central bank's issuance of digital currency may involve pyramid selling and fraud
in fact, virtual currencies such as bitcoin and lightcoin are representatives of the so-called digital currency. The central bank said in 2016 that it was studying China's legal digital currency. Yao Qian, director of the digital currency Research Institute of the people's Bank of China, previously told the media that the prototype scheme for the central bank to issue legal digital currency has completed two rounds of revision, and is expected to be tested in relatively closed application scenarios such as the bill market in the future, but there is no clear timetable for its launch

Virtual digital currency countries are allowed
according to Sohu Finance and Economics Report: the central bank recently said that the research on digital currency has achieved phased results, striving for the early issuance of digital currency
at present, major banks in many European and American countries and regions have publicly expressed their positive attitude towards the development of digital currency. If the digital currency is successfully issued, in addition to the convenience of people's living and payment, it will also bring many benefits to the country, such as improving the transparency of economic transaction activities, and the significance of cross-border e-commerce trade can not be underestimated
It is obvious that digital currency is highly expected based on its "excellent gene". Instry insiders said that once digital currency comes out, it will be applied to many fields. Although there must be an adaptation process from paper money to digital currency and the road of its reform will be very long, it can be seen that digital currency will inevitably form a development trend. Technological innovation will overcome the problems in reality. For example, if you go to a bank to do business now, if it doesn't involve cash, the lobby manager will recommend customers to ATM and other self-service equipment. This is a good proof that technological innovation has replaced labor in the past. Now mobile applications are also very simple. It can be predicted that the technology will continue to update in the future. The use of electronic channels, digital currency and other procts in the new era will become a trend, a trend that can not be reversed at present
