How to realize the digital currency of the central bank
specifically, according to Yao Qian, director of China digital currency Research Institute, the design framework of central bank's digital currency is mainly convenient and efficient, safe and controllable, and popular development
as for the two-tier framework, the two-tier framework is the central bank and the commercial bank, based on the account and wallet. This framework is to combine the original bank account system with the account system based on digital currency wallet
in blockchain technology, digital currency is separated from legal currency system and bank account system. Otherwise, together, it will cause chaos. Considering this problem, Yao Qian introced digital currency wallet into the account system of commercial banks. In this way, an account can manage both electronic currency and digital currency. Of course, this kind of design has a great impact on the current banking system, but it is also a resource for commercial banks with mature system
how does digital currency wallet work in commercial banks
bank accounts and digital currency wallets of commercial banks have common management features. In this case, bank accounts and digital wallets have different positioning. According to the wallet standard designed by the central bank, a wallet is equal to a safe deposit box. According to the requirements of customers, the bank will manage the safe deposit box as all the properties of cryptocurrency. This framework adds a Digital Wallet ID field to the bank account. In this way, the wallet has the function of a safe deposit box and does not participate in the business, so as to avoid affecting the core business of the bank
digital currency transfer can be directly transferred in the commercial banking system, or through the note issuing bank using the client-side digital wallet, direct point-to-point transactions, so that there is no need to rely on inter-bank payment between account banks< In a word, digital currency wallet is the personal wallet in the commercial banking system
theoretically, the payment system deals with demand deposits, while digital currency is in the category of cash
is the digital currency issued by the central bank decentralized
Yao Qian said that the biggest issue facing the instry now is whether decentralized distributed ledger should be used at the top level
Central Bank digital currency is more convenient and can develop into controllable anonymity through centralized issuance and account based weak association. However, in the digital world, we cannot confuse the economy and finance behind the numbers. Although they are all numbers, they represent different assets, so the central bank will keep them in mind when designing. We want to have a mature financial infrastructure for legal digital currency, but considering that the note issuing bank is only responsible for the digital currency itself, and the account bank is responsible for the actual management business, so as long as the specific application is implemented, the note issuing bank and the account bank will perform their ties and do their best
then the characteristics of the central bank's digital currency are
1. Digital currency, like RMB, has stable value
2. The operation mode is the same as RMB, which is endorsed by the national credit and issued by the central bank, and all commercial banks exchange it into the market
3. Digital currency issuance relies on big data, because it has the possibility of real-time collection of currency bookkeeping, flow, transaction, etc., which can provide help in anti money laundering
4. After digital currency replaces paper currency, it will play a positive role in preventing counterfeit banknotes, changing change, and preventing damage and loss ring transaction storage
5. It will rece the waste of resources. The proction and printing of paper money need cost, while the proction of digital currency depends on big data, so it will rece the waste of resources
therefore, with the advent of the central bank's digital currency, personal participation will have less opportunities to make money
I hope it can help you
hope to adopt it
there is no unified concept of legal digital currency. The Bank of England defines "digital currency" as "a payment method existing only by electronic means... Which can be used to purchase physical goods and services"... Including "private digital currency" and "digital currency issued by the central bank". Further than the Bank of England, Yao Qian, director of the digital currency Research Institute of the people's Bank of China, made clear the multiple connotations of the central bank's legal digital currency in several public speeches: legal and encrypted credit currency, adopted a series of algorithms, and derived more intelligent functions in the payment function
to this end, the central bank has designed a system architecture of "one currency, two warehouses and three centers", that is, taking digital currency as the center, designing the issuing library and deposit library, matching the certification center, big data analysis center and registration center. The central bank's digital currency is issued by the central bank and circulated in the commercial bank's account. The issuing inventory is put into the people's Bank of China to deposit the digital currency. The deposit bank is the database of the commercial bank to deposit the central bank's digital currency. The authentication center manages the identity of institutions and users in a centralized way; The registration center completes the whole life cycle and ownership registration of the central bank's digital currency; The big data analysis center achieves the goals of anti money laundering, anti terrorist financing, index detection and analysis
as an important node in the framework of legal digital currency, commercial banks play an important role in the circulation of central bank's digital currency. In the case that China's non bank payment institutions have occupied a certain market share, it is a better choice for non bank payment institutions to participate in the framework of digital currency operation as a supplement to commercial banks. The reasons are as follows: first, third-party payment institutions can help commercial banks realize the promotion of legal digital currency. Within commercial banks, there is a competitive relationship between legal digital currency and physical currency. The public tends to convert the digital currency in cash account into traditional currency in exchange for income, so it is difficult to achieve the goal of promoting digital currency by commercial banks; Second, the third-party payment institutions can avoid the repeated construction of payment application scenarios by commercial banks. Different from non bank payment institutions, the current payment scenarios of commercial banks are relatively lack of diversification, which will lead to a waste of resources and the rich experience accumulated by non bank payment institutions; Third, the third-party payment institutions can appropriately rece the operating costs of commercial banks. On the one hand, commercial banks need to upgrade the necessary software and hardware for the central bank's digital money service; On the other hand, we should continue to do a good job in traditional RMB deposit and withdrawal services. The simultaneous operation of the two systems will increase a lot of human and material costs. Fourth, the third-party payment institutions can promote the construction of payment instruments and channel integration of commercial banks. In the framework of legal digital currency, the single payment instruments and complex payment channels provided by commercial banks may rece the enthusiasm of the public to use legal digital currency
2 the emergence of legal digital currency reshapes the role of non bank payment institutions
in the process of cooperation with commercial banks, all kinds of non bank payment institutions play four roles. The first is the role of account manager. Non bank payment institutions can not operate deposit and loan business, and the amount in their payment account is not a deposit, so it is easier for the public to accept the role of non bank payment institutions as "digital wallet". At the same time, non bank payment institutions have rich experience in the development and operation of digital currency wallets and their terminals, which is concive to the smooth management and use of central bank's digital currency, and there is no need to worry about the risk of misappropriation of funds by non bank payment institutions. The second is the role of payment service provider. Non bank payment institutions have a lot of experience in scenario development and operation, including mobile payment, cross-border payment and rural payment, and relatively large market share of scenario based payment. On the one hand, powerful non bank payment institutions can develop a variety of procts based on Intelligent legal digital currency to meet the needs of users' exchange, payment, storage and related derivatives; On the other hand, non bank payment institutions can make use of various scenarios to promote the use of legal digital currency. For example, when consumers want to invest through the central bank's digital currency, non bank payment institutions, with the experience of traditional currency investment and payment services and upgraded digital wallet, can be fully competent as the special payment service provider of digital currency investment. Third, the role of system construction service provider. NPC, the core of national payment and settlement system, and CCPC, the core of provincial payment and settlement system, will continue to play an important role in the framework of legal digital currency. In the long-term coexistence of legal digital currency and traditional currency, NPC and CCPC will be double important nodes. Non bank payment institutions with strong technical ability can be used as secondary verification nodes under the framework of legal digital currency to supplement the multi center and distributed system architecture and continue to dock with NPC and CCPC
3 technical connection between non bank payment institutions and legal digital currency system
the innovation of non bank payment institutions is accompanied by the connection with legal digital currency system, covering the whole process of digital currency generation, storage, use and withdrawal. In this process, the first thing to solve is the docking of basic layer technology and transaction mole. The docking of basic layer technology is reflected in three aspects. First, in terms of basic security technology, non bank payment institutions, as providers of mobile terminal transaction forms, need to apply terminal security mole technology, dock with unified encryption and decryption system, provide carriers for secure storage and encryption and decryption operations, and provide effective basic security protection for digital currency. Secondly, in the aspect of data security technology, non bank payment institutions, as a part of the whole payment system, should adopt the official unified ciphertext + MAC / ciphertext + hash technology to transmit digital currency information, so as to ensure the confidentiality, security and non tamperability of the information. Thirdly, in the aspect of transaction security technology, non bank payment institutions, as the advanced nodes participating in bookkeeping, adopt blind signature technology to ensure the controllable anonymity of digital currency in the process of transaction, and eliminate the possibility of repeated payment through serial number, time stamp and other ways; And through encryption and decryption, digital signature, identity authentication and other anti-counterfeiting ways to ensure the authenticity of the transaction
when docking with the transaction mole, non bank payment institutions should do the following: first, docking with the certification center to obtain relevant digital certificates and user identity information; Second, connect with the trusted service management mole to obtain the use function of digital currency; Third, connect with the issuing system and storage system, and apply for and exchange digital currency through the bank treasury; Fourth, connect with the transaction communication mole to ensure that users can realize online payment through the transaction network in the intelligent terminal based on online transaction communication; Fifth, connect with the registration center, notify and record the flow of digital currency transactions, so as to complete the registration of the central bank's digital currency generation, circulation, checking and extinction process
4 scenario docking between non bank payment institutions and legal digital currency system
scenario docking of non bank payment institutions is based on the transformation of their own roles. Legal digital currency is algorithmic currency and intelligent currency, so business innovation and scenario expansion are the proper meaning of legal digital currency system. Non bank payment institutions can achieve scene docking mainly in four aspects
first, enabling the financial instry and defusing the limitations of financial scenario services. At present, there are some limitations in financial scenario service, such as business modeling is not universal, different agents have different management requirements, and the system docking cost of participants is high. Non bank payment institutions connect with the underlying technology of legal digital currency, and through the research and development of smart contract, establish behavior information such as capital flow, trigger conditions, value change rules, revenue right registration, and corresponding capital information (amount, account, currency, etc.) to resolve the existing limitations of financial scenario service. Non bank payment institutions use the atomic properties of digital currency and the atomic transactions of smart contracts to "assemble" into a business model. It does not need to develop a separate platform for different business scenarios, and avoids the monopoly of the instry platform and the non disclosure of information
Second, expand the use scenarios and improve the user experience. Non bank payment institutions can continue to expand the use scenarios according to the characteristics of legal digital currency on the basis of the existing rich payment scenarios, so as to meet the needs of users' exchange, payment, storage and related derivatives. At the same time, through the aggregation application, users can use the app of non bank payment institutions to dock a large number of scenarios and services
thirdly, improve the security of funds and create a universal digital wallet. Non bank payment institutions can provide digital wallet services, create digital wallets that meet security standards through their own technology, and ensure the security of users' funds. Alternative methods include: the central bank and non bank payment institutions cooperate to develop a unified universal digital wallet application, or authorize several qualified non bank payment institutions to provide universal digital wallet services. The digital wallet can realize the mutual exchange between the user's funds in various commercial banks and the legal digital currency even in the self owned accounts of non bank payment institutions. From the perspective of implementation, at the same time, the traditional account system of commercial banks can also bind the digital currency wallet of non bank payment institutions, so as to achieve the joint management of traditional accounts bound with digital currency wallet
Fourth, help cross-border settlement and build a safe and reliable cross time zone alliance chain. Non bank payment institutions can deeply participate in the cross-border payment system of legal digital currency. Cooperation with commercial banks and central banks can be achieved in at least two aspects. First, payment standards and tools are available. Non bank payment institutions participate in the research and establishment of standards and tools to realize the possibility of technical docking. Second, cross border payment system. The business system led by the central bank and participated by commercial banks and qualified non bank payment institutions will help to realize efficient cross-border payment
5 the legal framework of non bank payment institutions and legal digital currency is connected
a perfect legal system is an important guarantee for the operation of the digital currency system. There are several key questions to answer. First, how to determine the ownership of legal digital currency? This is the basis of all legal acts of legal digital currency. The first way of thinking is that legal digital currency is intangible. As a special movable property, it is applicable to the provisions of the property law. For example, Liu Xiangmin, director of the Department of articles and law of the people's Bank of China, believes that "to solve the problem of ownership transfer of digital currency, we should also focus on the publicity of ownership." The second idea is that digital currency is an electromagnetic record, which is applicable to the law of data transfer and transaction. The essence of digital currency is electromagnetic recording, and the transfer of electromagnetic recording content is recorded in the node of digital currency technology architecture. The change of node records is taken as the standard of ownership transfer. Second, how to protect personal information security? Personal information security is a basic problem in the era of digital economy. In addition to legislation to improve the level of technical security, we should also make clear the main types of legal digital currency system
There is no consistent definition of direct banking in China. In general, direct banking is a way that banks break the traditional counter business and can directly handle business on the Internet in order to attract more users and facilitate the use of customers. Users can handle business through web pages, mobile terminals, etc, Save a lot of waiting time for both sides. The business philosophy of this mode is to develop towards faster and more convenient business processing, which greatly reces the time and energy spent by users in banking business processing. Compared with the traditional banks in the past, direct banks mainly have the advantages of strong network dependence, accurate business procts, low cost, convenient and fast, but the relative strong network dependence is also a major factor hindering the development of direct banks. These characteristics make the transaction process of direct bank very simple, operation time is short, the staff is reced a lot, the use of fixed equipment and original procts is reced a lot, and the cost is greatly reced, which is an innovation for the bank to survive in the increasingly fierce competition
There are four trends in the development of direct banking Technology enables the development of direct banking. The application of cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence, blockchain and other new generation information technology will fundamentally change the operation mode of direct banking, improve service efficiency and level, and rece service cost. The specific ways are mainly reflected in the following aspects. One is to further improve user experience and service efficiency by introcing new technologies such as machine learning, virtual reality and biometrics; Second, through cloud computing, distributed architecture and other solutions, reconstruct the infrastructure deployment mode, rece operating costs, and build the ability to serve a large number of customers; The third is to use big data to improve the level of risk control, anti fraud, proct pricing, precision marketing, intelligent investment consulting, etc. In addition, blockchain and other technologies can provide strong support for the new financial transaction mode In the process of using financial technology, on the one hand, direct banks should grasp the development trend of financial technology, and lay out the field of financial technology by strengthening talent reserve and technology accumulation, and communicating and cooperating with third parties. In the process of continuously enhancing the ability of self-control of core technologies and optimizing and improving the efficiency of the overall science and technology system, we should carry out learning and Research on emerging frontier technologies, apply innovation, cultivate data thinking, establish cooperation mechanisms between internal and external parties, and strengthen mutually beneficial cooperation with frontier high-tech enterprises in big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, blockchain, etc, Innovative laboratories such as intelligent risk control and precision marketing can be set up in the form of joint construction, and innovative projects can be researched and implemented to build an intelligent financial technology system with strong cloud computing and big data processing capabilities. On the other hand, it is necessary to build a standardized open business platform, formulate standardized cooperation docking process, build a standardized merchant cooperation platform system integrating docking, joint debugging, testing, online and operation management, quickly and efficiently promote technology docking and financial services standardized output, and use scientific and technological means to improve business capacity2. The development strategy of platform will become the priority of direct banks in the future. In recent years, platform economy is rising rapidly. Among the top 10 companies with global market value in 2017, platform enterprises occupy as many as six seats, namely apple, Google, Facebook, Amazon, Alibaba and Tencent. Platform economy has become a worldwide trend business model and a new economic development paradigm, which has promoted the major changes in proction and lifestyle, and has increasingly become an important part of social economy
for commercial banks, the rapid development of platform economy has brought both opportunities and challenges. Platform enterprises gather a large number of merchants and customers. Merchants and customers have financial service needs. The platform has financial cross-border cooperation, data commercialization, business compliance and other needs, which puts forward new requirements for the traditional customer acquisition and service mode of commercial banks. The platform has rich resources such as business flow, logistics and capital flow, and is an important customer group of commercial banks
direct banking service platform will become the future trend. Through the construction of financial service intermediary platform, the direct bank realizes the integration of basic procts and services of the bank, interbank, non interbank and other institutions in the proct end, and creates the financial cloud of wealth management, network financing, payment and settlement, big data services. In terms of customer service, it will realize the integration of platform enterprises, small and medium-sized enterprises on the platform, small and medium-sized enterprises on the platform Comprehensive and comprehensive services for consumers on the platform
in the face of different platforms in the fields of consumption, instry and government affairs, the strategies of financial intermediary service platform constructed by banks are also different, which can be built according to three modes
(1) for those related fields that have not yet formed a platform for aggregation and specialization, direct banks can integrate internal and external resources, open up key nodes through self construction, M & A, investment and other forms, and build an in-house financial intermediary service platform to cover the whole scene of subdivided instries. Taking the acquisition of auto home by Ping An Trust in 2016 as an example, auto home, as a domestic auto vertical professional media, will not only obtain strong support from Ping An Group in terms of capital, but also become an important part of building an all-round auto service ecosystem for Ping An group. To build a platform model, it is generally necessary to rely on the resources of the group or parent bank to form a synergy of public and retail business; In addition, banks need to define their own service boundary, avoid large and comprehensive platform, resulting in excessive resource investment, and it is difficult to meet the personalized needs
(2) if a specialized platform has been formed in relevant fields, or the platform has not extended to the financial field e to regulatory requirements, direct banks can export financial procts and services through docking with such platforms
(3) the relevant fields have formed monopolistic resource integrators, and the services have been extended to the financial field, so it is difficult for banks to build their own platform to let the participants settle in. The relatively feasible solution for direct banks is to provide funds and financial services to the platform
3. Service scenario. In the future, direct banking procts will be a standardized proct that can be easily embedded into various financial scenarios. According to the view of a bank's senior financial practitioners, it is financial media. In the future, Internet banking and direct banking will become media tools for a bank to carry out mobile financial transformation. In the Internet dimension space, Internet banking and direct banking will become media tools, As a medium like air, it permeates into various scenes of financial services
4. Independent organizational structure. Most foreign direct banks adopt the independent legal person business model, and China's direct banks will graally develop in the direction of independence. With the official opening of Baixin bank, the first independent legal person direct bank in China, several independent legal person direct banks may be approved. The independent organizational structure of direct bank will have a positive impact on proct innovation, risk isolation from parent bank, mobilization of team enthusiasm, cost accounting, customer management, science and technology development mechanism, etc
In the process of independent corporatization of direct banking, the introction of external strategic investors will become one of the options. Through the introction of strategic investors, the capital strength can be improved. At the same time, through the docking with shareholders' resources, technology, scene, etc., the construction and development ability of direct banking ecology can be rapidly improved, and the coordination and win-win between direct banking and shareholders can be realizedto regulate the money supply through open market operation
