Virtual currency CBD

1. On the issue of issuing their own digital currency, central banks are always less thunderous. Central banks around the world are considering issuing their own digital currencies to compete with cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, but they have been unable to do so for a long time

the media's attention to the central bank's digital currency has increased significantly, especially after Zuckerberg testified in Congress on the Libra issue and Christina Lagarde acknowledged the "clear demand" for stable currency at her first media reception as president of the European Central Bank, which seems to have changed the public's view on this matter, Let many people in cryptocurrency community think that cbdcs is in sight<

according to the latest survey report released by the bank for International Settlements, central banks in the past seven years have been investigating this technology and assessing its impact. Of the 63 central banks surveyed, 55 said they were unlikely to issue cbdcs in the next three years, and only one reported that they were "highly likely to issue large-scale cbdcs in the next three to six years."

although the proportion of central banks studying cbdcs is very high, the crux of the problem is that it is mainly theoretical and investigative work. Only five central banks have concted more in-depth research and real project development or experimentation - but that still does not mean that they will necessarily issue cbdcs

through close observation, it is more and more obvious that both Libra recently released by Facebook and the new stable currency assets have had a significant impact on the central bank. Today's situation took hundreds of years to form, but it changed in a few months; Competition, the most terrifying and unfamiliar concept that has never been thought of before and penetrated into the elite society of central banks, is now knocking at the door

it can be said that the solution to the current situation is still unclear. Some people who are familiar with these things even say that they are bluffing. However, in Lagarde's own words, the slow and wait-and-see regulatory approach can no longer meet the needs

1. What is central bank digital currency<

what is the difference between central bank digital currency CBDC and other digital currencies

CBDC is a new form of currency, which is directly issued by the central bank in digital form as legal tender. The current form of legal currency is cash, reserve deposit or balance settlement< There are two main differences between CBDC and other digital currencies (including cryptocurrency and other forms of central bank currency):

1. CBDC has nothing to do with cryptoassets. They're not decentralized, they don't have to be blockchain based, and they're certainly not anonymous, they're not unlicensed, they're not censored< 2. Contrary to the current digital cash, the operation structure of CBDC will be different from other forms of central bank currency. CBDC has more powerful functions. They are programmable, can generate interest, can be cleared in near real time, and have cheaper handling charges and wider openness

when designing CBDC, the speed of central banks is different. Different central banks adopt their own approach. However, in general, there are three problems being explored: whether CBDC should be based on token or account number, whether CBDC should be batch (only open to banks) or retail (open to the public), and whether it should be based on DLT

when CBDC is to be implemented, things will become complicated, and there are many thorny problems to be considered

for example, once CBDC is launched, does it need to cancel cash? Should CBDC carry interest? Should they have face value like cash? Or linked to the total price index? What impact will this have on commercial banks? What about anonymity and privacy? All these questions need to be answered<

2. Motivation for issuing CBDC

in the 2017 staff discussion paper, the Bank of Canada gave six reasons for issuing CBDC in an article entitled "central bank digital currency: motivation and impact":

1. Ensure that the central bank provides sufficient cash to the public, and maintain the seigniorage revenue of the central bank

2, Support non-traditional monetary policy

3. Rece overall risk and improve financial stability

4. Improve payment competitiveness

5. Promote financial inclusiveness

6. Curb criminal activities

looking back at the bank for International Settlements survey we analyzed earlier, payment security and domestic efficiency are selected as the most important motives of the central bank. According to a large number of papers published by the central bank and other large financial institutions, for developed countries, the transformation into a cashless society is the main driving factor, while for developing countries, financial inclusiveness, cost rection and operational efficiency are the main motivation

throughout the rest of the reports and the literature that can be found, the fierce competition brought about by bitcoin and other innovations in the cryptocurrency instry, as well as the clear need for "one step ahead", of course, are not listed as the reasons for issuing CBDC< The advantages and potential risks of CBDC are very low.

if the central bank starts to launch CBDC and succeeds in the end, there are many potential benefits

from a technical point of view, CBDC is much better than the current form of legal currency. They can be tracked better, collect taxes more conveniently, transmit monetary policy better, have better financial inclusiveness, and rece the cost of procing physical currency

the most obvious advantage is that payment is cheaper and faster, whether it is domestic payment or cross-border payment

in addition to the design and implementation problems, a key problem of issuing CBDC is that CBDC may increase the risk of bank operation. However, this only happens when banks promise that their deposits can be converted into CBDC on demand, which is not necessarily the case, according to the Bank of England document

4. Facts on the ground

how far is it from us to see a real CBDC appear in the market? It's hard to estimate, but at present, we can sum up the current situation in one sentence: all talk but no practice

if we put aside the failed digital currencies of Ecuador, Tunisia and Venezuela, we can only do theoretical research, a small amount of experiments, and issue some feasible CBDC issuance announcements supported by the state in the future

the most famous CBDC projects in progress are: e-peso in Uruguay (the project was successfully tested in 2018), DCEP in China, "project Inthanon" in Thailand, e-krona in Sweden (still in the research stage)...

5. The revolution has not yet been successful, and comrades still need to work hard

considering the factors mentioned above, Most of the headlines about CBDC's upcoming release are groundless. All projects scheled to be released this year have been delayed

in fact, there is still a long way to go for the birth of CBDC, and to convince the public, we need more than a statement. Given the current situation, it seems that CBDC and other cryptocurrencies may not affect each other - at least for now.

3. Block chain is now a very hot term. As in the past few years, the concept of "Internet plus" has come up with many blocks. But in practical applications, the technology of block chain is still very few. The future direction is to really use the chain of blocks to the actual, medical electronic files, electronic data, electronic contracts, and what kind of things. In the market, blockchain should be used for data preservation, original protection and electronic signing. After all, it is a high security technology. It seems that the original warranty and contract warranty of easysecurity are able to protect data in this way.

5.

It means that RMB is officially included in the International Monetary Fund (IMF) special drawing right (SDR) basket, and becomes the only emerging economy currency among the five new SDR currencies, which marks an important step towards the internationalization of RMB. After that, Chinese people will be able to directly use RMB to travel, shop and invest abroad to rece exchange costs and avoid exchange rate risks

the impact of RMB's entry into the SDR basket:

1. RMB's entry into the SDR has no significant impact on the market in the short term, and will not aggravate capital outflow or inflow, nor enlarge the fluctuation of RMB exchange rate

2. The core condition for RMB to be included in SDR is "free use", which does not require the reform of RMB exchange rate formation mechanism and the free convertibility of RMB

It is a win-win situation for the international reserve asset status of SDR and the internationalization of RMB in the long run, which is concive to building a more reasonable international monetary system. Therefore, RMB shoulders new international responsibilities

{rrrrrrr}

extended information:

SDR, namely special drawing right, also known as paper gold, is a supplementary international reserve asset created, distributed and operated by the IMF. It is also the accounting unit of the IMF, representing the right of IMF member states to use funds

generally speaking, SDR is equivalent to 38 yuan of Qing prawns, which was popular last year. When Qing prawns, the owner of the barbecue shop, were on fire, real estate developers used "a few prawns" to price the house, and netizens' salaries were also calculated with "a few prawns". In this way, Qing prawn has become a pricing unit. Before that, Pan Shiyi, the head of Pan Renmei, had invented pan coin. One pan is equivalent to 1000 yuan per square meter, which is used to price the house

SDR is such a unit of account. In the past, the value of SDR was determined by a basket of freely available currencies including US dollar, euro, pound sterling and Japanese yen. In the future, the value of SDR will be determined by five currencies. In this basket of currencies, the share of RMB accounts for 10.92%, ranking third, behind the US dollar and the euro, and ahead of the Japanese yen and the British pound

therefore, SDR is not a real currency and can not be directly used for international trade settlement, and the subject of SDR share is strictly limited between IMF member countries, that is to say, indivials cannot control SDR share

6. How to say, people who like to collect this kind of RMB will be higher than those with the same value. If you change 8 to 4, it can be collected.
