China: actively and steadily promote the implementation of the research on the central bank's digital currency
as early as 2014, the central bank set up a special research group on the issue of legal digital currency to demonstrate the feasibility of the central bank's issue of legal digital currency< On October 28, 2019, Huang Qifan, vice president of China Center for international economic exchange, said: "the people's Bank of China has studied DC / EP for five or six years, and I think it has become mature. The people's Bank of China is likely to be the first central bank in the world to launch a digital currency. "
on November 28, fan Yifei, vice governor of the people's Bank of China, said at the forum that at present, the central bank's legal digital currency DC / EP has basically completed the top-level design, standard formulation, function research and development, joint debugging and testing under the premise of adhering to double-layer delivery, M0 substitution and controllable anonymity. In the next step, we will follow the principle of steady, safe and controllable, reasonably select the pilot verification area, scene and service scope, continuously optimize and enrich the DC / EP functions, and steadily promote the introction and application of digital legal tender< European Central Bank: exploring the form and possibility of CBDC. 'we are analyzing what form CBDC may take in order to achieve its potential purpose and mitigate its potential negative impact on monetary stability and financial intermediation,' Mr. kindos said. On the stable coin, Mr jindos said that it was very uncertain whether the stable coin could deliver on its promise, and it was clear that it could bring risks to consumers and the financial system. So it is understandable that authorities around the world are calling for regulatory stability.
the well-known digital currencies in the currency circle include bitcoin, Ruitai coin, Laite coin, doggy coin, etc.
is it a reliable currency? Just compare it with the mainstream currencies such as bitcoin, Leyte, decent and ether.
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
