How is the digital currency Research Institute of the central ba

1. Yao Qian, head of the preparatory group of the digital currency Research Institute of the central bank, said that the digital currency issued by the central bank is mainly to replace physical cash, rece the cost of issuance and circulation of traditional paper money, and improve the convenience and transparency of economic transactions
Huang Zhen, director of the Institute of financial law of Central University of Finance and economics, said that digital currency mainly refers to the form of currency and will not cause currency shrinkage. The issuing scale of money is still controlled by the central bank, while the issue of paper money or digital money is just a change of form< In addition, Huang Zhen mentioned that the issue of digital currency is still in the stage of discussion, which is an innovative mechanism of currency value symbol, and many problems are still under study. However, in practice, people are more and more inclined to use e-banking and e-payment rather than carrying notes. Under this trend, the number of banknotes in circulation in the future may decrease
the central bank's issuing of digital currency is still inspired by encrypted digital currencies such as bitcoin and lettercoin, and so is the token of European crowdfunding platform. The digital currency issued by the central bank has monetary attributes, while the token of European crowdfunding platform can only be a kind of asset certificate, a niche proct.

The digital currency of the central bank is DCEP

the name of the digital currency developed by the central bank is DCEP (digital currency electronic payment). DC is digital currency. EP is electronic payment. Payment transmits digital things through a certain way, not paper currency. Therefore, electronic payment itself has the attribute of digital currency

The characteristics of digital currency are: low transaction cost; Fast trading speed; Highly anonymous

Application of digital currency

I. fast, economic and safe payment and settlement

cross border payment helps RMB internationalization. In 2015, the settlement volume of cross-border payment involving current account is about 8 trillion yuan. To accelerate the internationalization of RMB, cross-border payment and settlement procts and solutions with low cost, high efficiency and low risk are needed

At present, there are still a lot of repetitive human work in the bank's electronic loan process and processing process, and as the basic support of loan issuance, many of the collateral has the situation of false pricing or multiple or even no collateral. We can consider using digital currency to price and track bank collateral:

3. Bill finance and supply chain finance

in recent years, various bill market businesses based on commercial bills have grown rapidly, and bill financing procts have become a hot area of Internet financing. However, about 70% of the current bill businesses in China are still paper transactions, Supply chain finance is also highly dependent on labor costs

3. The central bank's plan to set up the digital currency Research Institute is only a research institution, and there is no conflict with the current paper currency. The function of this research institution is to study feasible solutions. The central bank has been paying attention to digital currency for a long time, and has started the work related to digital currency
however, when the digital currency scheme is implemented in the future, cash can still be used universally, because it is determined by China's national conditions. Bitcoin, Leyte, decent and other digital currencies may only exist as an asset class in the future.

4. The people's Bank of China has designed a two-tier architecture for digital currency
specifically, according to Yao Qian, director of China digital currency Research Institute, the design framework of central bank's digital currency is mainly convenient and efficient, safe and controllable, and popular development
as for the two-tier framework, the two-tier framework is the central bank and the commercial bank, based on the account and wallet. This framework is to combine the original bank account system with the account system based on digital currency wallet
in blockchain technology, digital currency is separated from legal currency system and bank account system. Otherwise, together, it will cause chaos. Considering this problem, Yao Qian introced digital currency wallet into the account system of commercial banks. In this way, an account can manage both electronic currency and digital currency. Of course, this kind of design has a great impact on the current banking system, but it is also a resource for commercial banks with mature system
how does digital currency wallet work in commercial banks
bank accounts and digital currency wallets of commercial banks have common management features. In this case, bank accounts and digital wallets have different positioning. According to the wallet standard designed by the central bank, a wallet is equal to a safe deposit box. According to the requirements of customers, the bank will manage the safe deposit box as all the properties of cryptocurrency. This framework adds a Digital Wallet ID field to the bank account. In this way, the wallet has the function of a safe deposit box and does not participate in the business, so as to avoid affecting the core business of the bank
digital currency transfer can be directly transferred in the commercial banking system, or through the note issuing bank using the client-side digital wallet, direct point-to-point transactions, so that there is no need to rely on inter-bank payment between account banks< In a word, digital currency wallet is the personal wallet in the commercial banking system
theoretically, the payment system deals with demand deposits, while digital currency is in the category of cash
is the digital currency issued by the central bank decentralized
Yao Qian said that the biggest issue facing the instry now is whether decentralized distributed ledger should be used at the top level
Central Bank digital currency is more convenient and can develop into controllable anonymity through centralized issuance and account based weak association. However, in the digital world, we cannot confuse the economy and finance behind the numbers. Although they are all numbers, they represent different assets, so the central bank will keep them in mind when designing. We want to have a mature financial infrastructure for legal digital currency, but considering that the note issuing bank is only responsible for the digital currency itself, and the account bank is responsible for the actual management business, so as long as the specific application is implemented, the note issuing bank and the account bank will perform their ties and do their best
then the characteristics of the central bank's digital currency are
1. Digital currency, like RMB, has stable value
2. The operation mode is the same as RMB, which is endorsed by the national credit and issued by the central bank, and all commercial banks exchange it into the market
3. Digital currency issuance relies on big data, because it has the possibility of real-time collection of currency bookkeeping, flow, transaction, etc., which can provide help in anti money laundering
4. After digital currency replaces paper currency, it will play a positive role in preventing counterfeit banknotes, changing change, and preventing damage and loss ring transaction storage
5. It will rece the waste of resources. The proction and printing of paper money need cost, while the proction of digital currency depends on big data, so it will rece the waste of resources
therefore, with the advent of the central bank's digital currency, personal participation will have less opportunities to make money
I hope it can help you
hope to adopt it

5. Yao Qian, director of the digital currency Research Institute of the people's Bank of China, told the media: "the central bank issues legal digital currency

Recently, there is relevant news that the central bank's digital currency is about to fall, which has attracted most people's praise. The relevant person in charge of the digital currency Research Institute said that the research and development of digital RMB is steadily advancing. At present, closed pilot projects have been carried out in Shenzhen, Suzhou and other places, and the functions are being continuously optimized and improved< Strong> after the central bank issues digital money, the daily payment will no longer need real name, nor do it need to use Alipay and WeChat to pay. It will bring great convenience to our life, and at the same time, it will change a lot. RRRRR}

the issue of digital currency is a trend, which will bring convenience to our lives. It also indirectly reflects the development of currency and social progress. After the use of digital currency, there will be a severe crackdown on crimes and other acts. The difficulty of money laundering will increase and criminal acts will be reced. The flow of money can be effectively queried through mobile app records, which has a great impact on social life

7.

the natural nature of bitcoin is decentralized, but the Central Bank of digital currency must abide by the centralized management model. Compared with bitcoin, the central bank's digital currency has a higher "currency" value, and the price of bitcoin fluctuates greatly. the central bank's digital currency ensures the payment function in daily life, and has remained relatively stable since 2014. Since the beginning of the year, the central bank has been actively engaged in the research and development of digital currency, including the active application of relevant patents

starting from the issue of digital currency, the central bank uses a two-level operating system, which first converts digital currency into banks or other operating institutions, and then to the public. Mu Changchun said the al transmission system is suitable for China's national conditions. We can not only use the existing resources to mobilize the enthusiasm of commercial banks, but also improve the acceptance of digital currency without any problem

The digital currency developed by the central bank has such a definition: encrypted digital string representing specific amount guaranteed and signed by the central bank . In a broad sense, digital currency includes a wide range of aspects, including electronic currency, virtual currency and legal digital currency. But strictly speaking, the digital currency developed by the central bank refers to legal digital currency

electronic currency is the digitalization of legal tender, including our common bank cards, Internet banking, electronic cash, Alipay and so on. No matter what the form of these electronic money is and through which institutions it circulates, its original source is the legal money issued by the central bank

In contrast, virtual currency is the electronization of illegal currency, and its original issuer is not the central bank. For example, Tencent Q coin and other game coins, such virtual currency is mainly limited to circulation in a specific virtual environment; Bitcoin, for example, solves the problem of decentralization and distrust through blockchain technology, realizes global circulation, and is sought after all over the world. In other words, virtual currency can only be closed in the network circulation, and digital currency can be used for real goods and services transactions, but only the digital currency issued by the state is legal digital currency, bitcoin is illegal

the digital currency researched and issued by the central bank is indexed RMB, which belongs to legal encrypted digital currency from the perspective of national schemes, and it is not only a payment tool but also a currency itself< the purpose of digital currency issued by the central bank is to replace physical cash, rece the cost of traditional paper currency issuance and circulation, and improve the convenience and transparency of economic transactions

hope to adopt

9. The establishment of the digital currency Research Institute by the central bank can speed up the pace of launching digital currency by the central bank
the "trace" and "traceability" of digital currency can improve the convenience and transparency of economic transactions. Economist Yu Fenghui said that money laundering, tax evasion and other criminal activities are expected to decrease. At the same time, with the application of blockchain technology, a unified account book will be established nationwide or even worldwide, so that every sum of money can be traced back. Tax evasion and money laundering will be within the scope of supervision, and it is even possible to realize automatic tax dection on the card machine
in the future, the digital currency launched by the central bank will become the mainstream, and the digital currencies such as lightcoin, bitcoin and decent may be marginalized.

The central bank's digital currency is digital RMB, which is issued by the people's Bank of China. On March 9, 2018, Zhou Xiaochuan, then governor of the central bank, officially disclosed at a press conference that the name of the legal digital currency under development is DCEP

DCEP is the abbreviation of digital currency electronic payment. This means that the central bank's digital currency will have the al functions of legal currency and electronic payment at the same time

In September 2013, the Ministry of Public Security announced 10 typical pyramid selling cases, among which "Cloud Data Trade" is a large-scale pyramid selling mode in China

extended data:

specifically, the characteristics of DCEP are mainly reflected in finance and technology

1. As far as its financial characteristics are concerned, the functions and attributes of the central bank's digital currency are exactly the same as those of the RMB paper currency, which is only a digital version of the paper currency. This shows that digital currency is legal tender, and it depends on national credit to maintain the circulation system of digital currency. Mu Changchun, director of the digital currency Research Institute of the central bank, clearly pointed out that DCEP "is a digital payment tool with value characteristics"

In economics, M0 is often used to refer to the cash circulating outside the banking system. The central bank's positioning of DCEP is to replace M0, that is, to replace cash

2. In terms of technical features, the digital currency of the central bank has not fully adopted the blockchain technology. The blockchain research group of the digital currency Research Institute of the people's Bank of China has pointed out in a paper that the processing efficiency of the blockchain system needs to be improved. The encrypted assets based on this technology can not guarantee the stability of its anchored assets. At the same time, its decentralization also conflicts with the central bank's centralized management requirements

However, it is said that digital currency draws on some of these technical concepts, such as asymmetric encryption, smart contract and so on. The new cryptocurrency system has the advantages of security, controllable anonymity and unforgeability, which makes up for the problems of high cost, difficult tracking and large counterfeiting
