Can central bank's digital currency cross border payment
It doesn't matter
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 the name of the legal digital currency being developed as DCEP at a press conference
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 cash2. 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 lessons from 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
2019 August 21st, the official account of WeChat central bank released two articles on digital currency.
the media's attention to the central bank's digital currency has increased significantly, especially after Zuckerberg testified in Congress on the Libra issue and Christina Lagarde acknowledged the "clear demand" for stable currency at her first media reception as president of the European Central Bank, which seems to have changed the public's view on this matter, Let many people in cryptocurrency community think that cbdcs is in sight<
according to the latest survey report released by the bank for International Settlements, central banks in the past seven years have been investigating this technology and assessing its impact. Of the 63 central banks surveyed, 55 said they were unlikely to issue cbdcs in the next three years, and only one reported that they were "highly likely to issue large-scale cbdcs in the next three to six years."
although the proportion of central banks studying cbdcs is very high, the crux of the problem is that it is mainly theoretical and investigative work. Only five central banks have concted more in-depth research and real project development or experimentation - but that still does not mean that they will necessarily issue cbdcs
through close observation, it is more and more obvious that both Libra recently released by Facebook and the new stable currency assets have had a significant impact on the central bank. Today's situation took hundreds of years to form, but it changed in a few months; Competition, the most terrifying and unfamiliar concept that has never been thought of before and penetrated into the elite society of central banks, is now knocking at the door
it can be said that the solution to the current situation is still unclear. Some people who are familiar with these things even say that they are bluffing. However, in Lagarde's own words, the slow and wait-and-see regulatory approach can no longer meet the needs
1. What is central bank digital currency<
what is the difference between central bank digital currency CBDC and other digital currencies
CBDC is a new form of currency, which is directly issued by the central bank in digital form as legal tender. The current form of legal currency is cash, reserve deposit or balance settlement< There are two main differences between CBDC and other digital currencies (including cryptocurrency and other forms of central bank currency):
1. CBDC has nothing to do with cryptoassets. They're not decentralized, they don't have to be blockchain based, and they're certainly not anonymous, they're not unlicensed, they're not censored< 2. Contrary to the current digital cash, the operation structure of CBDC will be different from other forms of central bank currency. CBDC has more powerful functions. They are programmable, can generate interest, can be cleared in near real time, and have cheaper handling charges and wider openness
when designing CBDC, the speed of central banks is different. Different central banks adopt their own approach. However, in general, there are three problems being explored: whether CBDC should be based on token or account number, whether CBDC should be batch (only open to banks) or retail (open to the public), and whether it should be based on DLT
when CBDC is to be implemented, things will become complicated, and there are many thorny problems to be considered
for example, once CBDC is launched, does it need to cancel cash? Should CBDC carry interest? Should they have face value like cash? Or linked to the total price index? What impact will this have on commercial banks? What about anonymity and privacy? All these questions need to be answered<
2. Motivation for issuing CBDC
in the 2017 staff discussion paper, the Bank of Canada gave six reasons for issuing CBDC in an article entitled "central bank digital currency: motivation and impact":
1. Ensure that the central bank provides sufficient cash to the public, and maintain the seigniorage revenue of the central bank
2, Support non-traditional monetary policy
3. Rece overall risk and improve financial stability
4. Improve payment competitiveness
5. Promote financial inclusiveness
6. Curb criminal activities
looking back at the bank for International Settlements survey we analyzed earlier, payment security and domestic efficiency are selected as the most important motives of the central bank. According to a large number of papers published by the central bank and other large financial institutions, for developed countries, the transformation into a cashless society is the main driving factor, while for developing countries, financial inclusiveness, cost rection and operational efficiency are the main motivation
throughout the rest of the reports and the literature that can be found, the fierce competition brought about by bitcoin and other innovations in the cryptocurrency instry, as well as the clear need for "one step ahead", of course, are not listed as the reasons for issuing CBDC< The advantages and potential risks of CBDC are very low.
if the central bank starts to launch CBDC and succeeds in the end, there are many potential benefits
from a technical point of view, CBDC is much better than the current form of legal currency. They can be tracked better, collect taxes more conveniently, transmit monetary policy better, have better financial inclusiveness, and rece the cost of procing physical currency
the most obvious advantage is that payment is cheaper and faster, whether it is domestic payment or cross-border payment
in addition to the design and implementation problems, a key problem of issuing CBDC is that CBDC may increase the risk of bank operation. However, this only happens when banks promise that their deposits can be converted into CBDC on demand, which is not necessarily the case, according to the Bank of England document
4. Facts on the ground
how far is it from us to see a real CBDC appear in the market? It's hard to estimate, but at present, we can sum up the current situation in one sentence: all talk but no practice
if we put aside the failed digital currencies of Ecuador, Tunisia and Venezuela, we can only do theoretical research, a small amount of experiments, and issue some feasible CBDC issuance announcements supported by the state in the future
the most famous CBDC projects in progress are: e-peso in Uruguay (the project was successfully tested in 2018), DCEP in China, "project Inthanon" in Thailand, e-krona in Sweden (still in the research stage)...
5. The revolution has not yet been successful, and comrades still need to work hard
considering the factors mentioned above, Most of the headlines about CBDC's upcoming release are groundless. All projects scheled to be released this year have been delayed
in fact, there is still a long way to go for the birth of CBDC, and to convince the public, we need more than a statement. Given the current situation, it seems that CBDC and other cryptocurrencies may not affect each other - at least for now.
Digital currency can be understood as the digitalization of RMB, which has two obvious advantages: "no account payment" and "no network payment". After Facebook launched Libra this year, the central bank's digital currency has also stepped in. We see both challenges and opportunities
in a word, digital currency is still RMB in fact, but some changes have taken place in its form. We say that digital currency is of great significance. It not only enhances the security and controllability, but also makes counterfeit currency "invisible". In addition, the issuance of the central bank's digital currency is also concive to the central bank's more convenient and transparent management
the market is so hot because Alec released such a message before:
Auckland (located in the west coast of the United States, California, San Francisco, less than half an hour's drive), a set of four rooms and two bathrooms, which has recently been renovated and sold for $648000, accept payment in bitcoin, Ethereum or other cryptocurrencies
as soon as the news spread, telephone calls and e-mails for consultation flooded in
as we all know, houses near San Francisco are always in short supply. Usually, a house can receive more than ten offers
this is a market where sellers have an absolute advantage. In fact, Alec doesn't worry about not being able to sell
so why did he choose to accept cryptocurrency payment? The answer is only two words: try fresh
from 2017 to the present, blockchain is in a period of vigorous development, and Alec also wants to try something new. As a senior real estate investor, his first thought is, of course, how to connect cryptocurrency with real estate
to this end, he visited a large number of blockchain start-ups in Silicon Valley, involving property rights records, cross-border transactions, crowdfunding investment, equity transfer, and learning about cryptocurrency
in the end, he decided to experience the cryptocurrency market in the simplest way: accepting buyers to pay for cryptocurrency
as for the pros and cons of trying fresh food, Alec analyzes it as follows: "the price of cryptocurrency is constantly fluctuating for a house of more than 700000 yuan. If all the houses accept cryptocurrency, the fluctuation is not a small number; The harvest is that you do a lot of homework when you try new ideas, and you can learn about a brand new market. "
in the end, he accepted a hybrid scheme: more than half of the money was paid in US dollars, and the remaining half in ether. This part of etheric currency is calculated according to the currency price on the end of the transaction, and is paid according to the exchange value between us dollar and etheric currency
Yes, Ethereum is the popular eth in 2017, and its market value is second only to bitcoin.
On October 8, Shenzhen Municipal People's government and the people's Bank of China jointly launched a pilot project of digital RMB red envelope
after the news was sent out, it has aroused warm repercussions from all walks of life across the country. At this stage, people are most concerned about the impact of digital RMB on our daily life? Will it replace Alipay and WeChat? Due to the lack of introction and promotion of digital RMB by authoritative institutions, the citizens and businesses participating in the activities also have many questions about digital RMB. According to the official announcement, the red envelope activity of digital RMB is a routine test in the process of digital RMB research and development. It can be seen that there is still a certain distance from the official implementation of digital RMB
