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

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

3. The Chinese version of CBDC is described as digital RMB, which is issued by the people's Bank of China, operated by designated operators and exchanged to the public. It is based on the generalized account system, supports the loose coupling function of bank accounts, is equivalent to banknotes and coins, and has value characteristics and legal compensation
what we call DC / EP is the Chinese version of the central bank's digital currency, translated as "digital currency and electronic payment instruments"
the center for International Settlements (BIS) and the Committee on payment and market infrastructure (CPMI), two authoritative international organizations, jointly concted two questionnaires on more than 60 central banks in 2018 and 2019. The content of the questionnaire includes the work progress of central banks on digital currency, the motivation of studying digital currency and the possibility of issuing digital currency. 70% of central banks said they are (or will be) involved in the research of digital currency

The digital RMB red envelope of 10 million yuan issued by Shenzhen city has brought the development of e-money back to the people's vision

in fact, since April 2020, small-scale pilot projects of digital RMB have been carried out in Shenzhen, Cheng, Suzhou and xiong'an, and the pilot scale will be expanded to 28 provinces and cities in August 2020

as a socially recognized "super outlet", in addition to the high investment of digital currency related enterprises, its impact on the financial market is also of great research value

Policy evolution of the development of digital RMB

as early as 2014, the central bank has concted research layout on digital RMB, and discussed the development framework of digital RMB with major international financial institutions and research institutions in the 2016 digital currency seminar

after six years of development, China has initially developed the "pbctfp blockchain platform" and continuously promoted the pilot activities of digital RMB. It can be predicted that as today's technology and policy outlet, digital RMB will have excellent development prospects and extremely fast development speed in the next few years

Figure 1: Policy Evolution of digital RMB

with the improvement of China's national strength, digital RMB provides an opportunity to establish a "new system of RMB cross border settlement", which can promote RMB payment activities around the world and realize the internationalization of RMB

5. It shows that the total amount of this kind of digital currency is relatively large, and the total amount of many digital currencies is as high as 10 billion. The circulation of some MLM coins is not constant and can be increased or split at will. Moreover, there are many different digital currencies in the world, and the number of each digital currency is very considerable
the well-known digital currencies in the currency circle include bitcoin, Ruitai coin, Laite coin, doggy coin, etc.

6. Chinese digital currency should refer to Chinese currency, the specific amount of this currency is not clear. However, many things of this kind of coin are fabricated, not real. And its related companies are mostly forged. Now the Chinese currency has basically disappeared, it is estimated that it should be dead

is it a reliable currency? Just compare it with the mainstream currencies such as bitcoin, Leyte, decent and ether.

7. The total amount of money in DCEP is not constant

why

let's take a look at the current definition of DCEP

Digital legal tender

in addition to being different from legal paper money in carrier, it has the same function as paper money: value scale, circulation means, payment means and value storage

this is also the function of paper money

the issuance of DCEP is based on 100% reserve and will circulate with cash currency, that is, M0 issuance

although the central bank's digital currency was slowly launched after the rise of blockchain technology, it is not pure blockchain technology, but only uses some technologies related to blockchain

we all know that the commercial application of block chain technology still faces many problems, such as concurrency, data storage and so on

a country with a large population like ours, if we use blockchain technology in a strict sense, it will not be able to carry it at present<

Wanxiang blockchain analysis:

from the information disclosed by the people's Bank of China, DC / EP does not use the real blockchain like Libra

although digital currency is not a token in the blockchain, it is similar to the token in the blockchain in the key features of non double flower, anonymity, unforgeability, security, transitivity, separability and programmability

therefore, DC / EP still belongs to token paradigm rather than account paradigm

the central bank is responsible for the maintenance of the DC / EP issuance registration subsystem, which is centralized and does not need to run consensus algorithm, so it will not be subject to the performance bottleneck of the blockchain

in DC / EP, blockchain is used to confirm the right registration of digital currency and plays an auxiliary role

each country's base currency issuance is increasing every year

therefore, the central bank's digital currency improves the bearing property of money. Paper money is naturally suitable for the atomic world, and digital currency is more suitable for the consumption scenarios in the bit world

the supply is definitely the same as that of the previous monetary system, increasing every year.
