more than three years ago, the people's Bank of China started to organize a seminar on digital currency, and then set up the digital currency Research Institute of the central bank. The latest action is to jointly organize distributed R & D with the instry and cooperate with the market
the name of R & D used by the central bank is DCEP, which is actually electronic payment. What is paid is digital, not paper money. Digital money also has monetary attributes. The study of digital currency is not to realize the application of a certain technical solution, but to pursue the convenience and low cost of retail payment system, as well as security and privacy protection
the digital currencies of bitcoin, wikilink and Ethereum provide some reference for the digital currencies issued by the central bank, especially blockchain.

It is not currently available
at present, the Central Bank of China has not issued and approved the digital currency of issuers and investors
However, at the beginning of the year, the central bank held a seminar on digital currency, at which it made it clear that it was necessary to issue digital currency as soon as possible, and the central bank put the issue of digital currency on the agendahowever, so far, the central bank has not issued any digital currency, and Zhou Xiaochuan, the governor of the central bank, said that the time is not ripe to issue digital currency. Moreover, the digital currency issued by the central bank is different from bitcoin, Ruitai, Laite and other digital cryptocurrencies, and the digital currency issued by the central bank is not decentralized
when the central bank issues digital currency, it needs to establish a basic digital currency system. In this system, the central bank is in charge of the digital currency issuing bank, the commercial bank is in charge of the bank, and the public and indivials hold digital wallets. This is not much different from the existing monetary system in essence, but the managed currency is changed from paper money to digital cryptocurrency
in terms of issuing mechanism, there are two modes:
one is the traditional mode of "central bank commercial bank", that is, the central bank issues digital currency from the issuing bank of the central bank to the Bank of the commercial bank. When an indivial withdraws money from the commercial bank, the digital currency is transferred from the commercial bank to the personal digital wallet
another mode is the "central bank public" mode, that is, the central bank can directly issue digital currency from the currency issuing bank to the digital wallet of the public and indivials. In essence, no matter which issuing mode, money is ultimately held by the public, which is the debt of the central bank to the public
According to reports, the world's major central banks are focusing on digital currency. Some countries have clearly put forward the plan of issuing legal digital currency. For example, the central banks of Canada, the Netherlands, Australia, Russia and other countries have already announced the launch of digital currency research
different from the centralized delivery of traditional electronic payment instruments, the fund transfer of electronic payment instruments must be completed through the account, which adopts the account tight coupling mode, while the central bank's digital currency should be based on the account loose coupling mode, so that the transaction link's dependence on the account is greatly reced, and the central bank's digital currency holders can directly apply it to various scenarios, It is concive to the circulation and internationalization of RMB
According to the experts, digital currency was born in the existing financial system and will inevitably be affected by the existing payment system and information technology. Theoretically speaking, the payment system mainly deals with the demand deposit part of the broad money, while digital currency mainly belongs to the category of cash source: bit110
