Digital currency to credit society
Yin Zhentao, deputy director of the law and Finance Research Office of the Financial Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that digital currency faces two risks. The first is the technical level. Digital currency relies on blockchain technology and a system, which will make it suffer from security impact, such as hacker attacks on computer systems. We have seen many practical problems in this process
Zhao Zhanzhan, a special researcher of intellectual property research center of China University of political science and law, believes that digital currency has anonymity, quickness and irrevocability. In addition, bitcoin and other digital currencies have high circulation in the world, so many criminals use digital currency as a new money laundering channel. Moreover, there are many different ways to realize money laundering through digital currency. Generally speaking, the probability of new money laundering being found and investigated is lower than before. Many countries have no effective means and technology to combat money laundering through digital currency. These factors lead to criminals prefer this way of money laundering
the arrival of digital currency is an inevitable requirement under the background of the great era , and the central bank's digital RMB has the nature of legal compensation. Digital RMB does not pay interest, and can be used in small, retail and high-frequency business scenarios. there is no difference with paper money and because of the legal compensation, we can't refuse to accept the central bank's digital RMB. Moreover, the digital currency Research Institute of the people's Bank of China says that it can realize the circulation of digital currency between different clients in the transaction process by means of technical solutions, generating new digital currency and canceling old digital currency
after being excited for such a long time, it turned out that it was just an oolong. However, some people said that this warm-up is likely that the digital currency will soon be issued and used. What's the use of digital currency? Is it the same as WeChat Alipay? In this regard, Wang Jian, chief analyst of Guoxin Securities financial instry, believes that the number of Renminbi and banknotes and coins are RMB cash. Alipay, WeChat payment and so on are just a payment tool. Through these two channels, the balance of personal bank card is still used, or the credit card is being brushed, and the digital Renminbi payment is used. What we spend directly is digital RMB, just like cash

secondly, many people think that digital RMB has special functions of anti money laundering and anti-corruption because of its traceability. I think that's half right. The introction of digital RMB really has a deterrent effect on money laundering. With the participation of blockchain technology, relevant departments can effectively find the source of funds, So as to effectively curb money laundering
however, it may not be so easy to crack down on corruption. Some corrupt elements may turn their money into a house and put it in the name of their relatives, but you can't find it, or some corrupt elements may put their corrupt money directly at home, and law enforcement agencies can't find it at all. Unless, like India's Modi, the old version of large banknotes will be voided and replaced with new banknotes. In the replacement, it is necessary to show the proof of the legal source of the huge amount of property
thirdly, digital currency can also help poverty alleviation and provide national welfare. During the epidemic period, China has formulated a lot of welfare policies for enterprises and indivials. However, e to inaccurate information and unimpeded channels, it is unable to benefit every enterprise and indivial. If we use the digital RMB channel, we believe that every enterprise and indivial will benefit directly. In this way, we can save time cost and channel operation cost without going through a third party. In addition, if we lay out the digital RMB well in advance, the state can distribute benefits to the people more directly and quickly, and it can also be accurate to the indivial. These will give our country is vigorously layout of the circular economy has played a role in boosting

fourthly, digital RMB will play a positive role in import and export trade and lay a solid foundation for RMB internationalization in the next step. In addition to the use of digital RMB in import and export trade, it can also expand the influence of digital RMB in the world. In addition, China now has tens of millions of Chinese and overseas Chinese all over the world, who will play a positive role in the promotion and circulation of digital RMB. With the increasing status of RMB internationalization, the introction of digital RMB is more concive to the promotion and use of RMB in the world, and lays the foundation for RMB internationalization
of course, some people worry that if the network is cut off or the mobile phone has no signal, then digital currency can not be used, which is an irresistible accident. The central bank should take this into account before launching the digital Renminbi. In this regard, we believe that RMB banknotes and coins will not withdraw from circulation for a long time in the future. In the future, digital RMB and banknotes will coexist for a long time. Therefore, people can rest assured that the introction of digital RMB by the central bank will not affect people's daily life.

1. Impact on financial infrastructure
the decentralized mechanism of value exchange based on distributed ledger technology has changed the basic settings of gross and net settlement on which financial market infrastructure depends. The use of distributed ledgers also poses challenges to trading, clearing and settlement, as it promotes the disintermediation of traditional service providers in different markets and infrastructures. These changes may have potential impacts on market infrastructure other than retail payment systems, such as large payment systems, securities settlement systems or trading databases
If digital currency and distributed ledger based technology are widely used, it will bring challenges to the intermediary role of financial system participants, especially banks. As a financial intermediary, banks perform the ties of acting supervisors and supervise borrowers on behalf of depositors.

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
in fact, the core attribute of bitcoin, which was the first to practice the concept of digital currency, is that the total amount of bitcoin can be controlled, so it can be used to measure the value of other commodities rather than being determined by other commodities. Of course, in terms of nature, bitcoin is a specific virtual commodity, which does not have the same legal status as currency and cannot and should not be used as currency in the market
therefore, from a strategic perspective, under the background that informatization and digitization have become one of the main trends of economic development, the issuance of sovereign digital currency is the general trend.
