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 issue of digital currency has many benefits and is imperative. According to the central bank, digital money and paper money will coexist for a long time to come. When people go to the bank to withdraw money, they can not only withdraw cash directly, but also exchange it into digital currency. In Xiaobian's opinion, the establishment and issuance of digital currency system can not only make people's transactions more convenient and safe, but also graally weaken the proportion of paper money in the real circulation, which will also have a positive impact on the electronic disk of postal money card
when people are used to digital currency, paper money will graally withdraw from the circulation market and enter the collection field. In the new environment of payment and circulation, the traditional paper money will become a symbol of an era and a memory of people. The paper money that used to circulate in the market will also become a kind of cultural and artistic investment goods, active on the electronic disk of the post money card. And those earlier and even rarer coins will also stimulate their prices to rise in this situation. It can be seen that the central bank's graal promotion of digital currency will have a profound impact on people's living habits and investment and financial management, which is worth looking forward to Sohu)
however, digital currency does not have to be used for payment. Some domestic application-oriented digital currencies have begun to find another shortcut and come out with a different truth. For example, coin Ying China crowdfunding project token; Puyin group launched the tea based digital currency Puyin.

4. It is an inevitable trend for the central bank to prepare to issue digital currency. bitcoin, as the representative of digital currency, is in the forefront of the exploration of currency form. Most countries in the world love and hate bitcoin, especially China's bitcoin launched a series of attacks, but bitcoin is still standing, showing strong vitality
however, the digital currency that the central bank plans to issue has the monetary attribute and has the credit endorsement of the central bank. The central bank's version of digital money will first be applied to the bill market. It is still difficult for the central bank to popularize the digital currency in China, because the degree of economic development is different across the country
at the same time, there are some applied digital currencies in China. For example, the Puyin digital currency launched by Puyin group is a standard digital currency with credit endorsement of related tea assets.

5. Digital currency generally refers to bitcoin, lightcoin, Puyin, dogcoin, Ethereum and other digital cryptocurrencies
according to media reports, before the Spring Festival, the blockchain based digital bill trading platform promoted by the people's Bank of China has been successfully tested. After the Spring Festival, the digital currency Research Institute of the central bank will also be officially listed. This means that the people's Bank of China will become the first central bank to study digital currency and its real application.
