When will digital currency be tested

1. As early as 2014, the people's Bank of China has set up a special research group to study the central bank's digital currency. Until today, the central bank's digital currency has a real sense of landing. China may become the first economy to issue sovereign digital currency, and 2020 is expected to be the first year of global central bank digital currency

the DCEP issued by the central bank is a digital currency, which is very similar to Alipay and WeChat payment. But it is different from Alipay and WeChat, because it is more like paper money, and the third party can not get the information from both sides of the transaction. It is anonymous and centralization, and the endorsement of the state can be assured.

what is the use of central bank digital currency

from the perspective of the central bank, if the central bank wants to put in funds, it doesn't need these scientific and technological means to trigger conditions, and it could have done it

for users, they have one more option when paying. Users only need to download the central bank's digital currency wallet app, and then associate with their existing bank accounts to exchange the previous banknotes into the corresponding digital currency

for the current mobile payment, users are still accustomed to using Alipay and WeChat to pay. But how to say? Personally, Alipay was originally a professional payment software, but after all these years of development, the Alipay interface is extremely complex, and the user experience is not very friendly.
as for wechat payment, wechat started from social networking at first, and has evolved from professional social software to comprehensive software in recent years. To put it plainly, whether it is Alipay or WeChat, it seems that it has deviated from its original intention. This may bring opportunities to the central bank's digital currency

when will central bank digital currency become popular

according to the bank, considering that the early digital RMB is only limited to the pilot, it will not be issued in large quantities and promoted comprehensively in the short term, and the speed of currency circulation will also maintain a normal level

many people say that digital money has no effect on Alipay. I beg to differ. As Ma Yun said, sometimes it's just a document that beats you. What is the impact of the central bank's digital currency on Alipay? Let's wait and see.

2. After the people's Bank of China announced the launch of digital currency as soon as possible in January 2017, the governor of the people's Bank of China, in an exclusive interview with Caixin weekly, elaborated on digital currency in detail, saying that there was no established timetable. The relationship between digital currency and cash will be parallel and graally replaced for quite a long time.

The full name of digital RMB is & lt; Digital money electronic payment & quot DC / EP (digital currency electronic payment) is a kind of payment tool based on various existing bank accounts, which has the same value as ordinary banknotes and coins and can be used for payment or other economic activities. At present, the people's Bank of China is still in the pilot stage and has not been officially issued

According to the report of reference news, the people's Bank of China has concted a small-scale internal test on digital RMB in Suzhou, and many Suzhou civil servants have received the salary in the form of digital RMB. According to the plan, in the future, it will be promoted in Shenzhen, Cheng, Suzhou, xiong'an new area and other places as well as relevant departments of the future Winter Olympics scene, and then extended to other regions as appropriate. It is believed that digital RMB will be popularized in the near future

4.

As of November 11, 2020, China's e-money system is under development

in August 2019, the relevant person in charge of the people's Bank of China said in public that the development of digital currency system is under way and the "digital RMB era" is coming

Wang Xin, director of Central Bank Research Bureau and monetary gold and silver Bureau, said that the central bank's digital currency mainly substitutes cash to a certain extent in China, which will help optimize the central bank's monetary payment function and improve the central bank's monetary status and the effectiveness of monetary policy

extended data:

nowadays, China is still in the stage of accelerating the research and development of digital currency. For example, the central bank held a working video conference in the second half of 2019 on August 2, calling for "accelerating the pace of research and development of China's legal digital currency"

and the opinions of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on supporting Shenzhen to build a leading demonstration zone of socialism with Chinese characteristics issued in August 2019 clearly stated that "We support the development of innovative applications such as digital currency research and mobile payment in Shenzhen"

it is understood that in the future, the central bank will not issue digital currency directly to the public, but will adopt a two-tier operation system, that is, the central bank will first convert the digital currency to banks or other operating institutions, and then these institutions will convert it to the public. In the early stage, the central bank's legal digital currency may pilot in some scenarios, and then further promote it when it is more mature. For the sake of safety, it will do a good job in the design of pilot exit mechanism
