In 2017, the central bank issued a document on virtual currency

1. On November 13 this year, the official microblog of the people's Bank of China announced that the people's Bank of China has issued legal digital currency, and some institutions falsely use the name of the people's Bank of China to trade relevant digital procts under the title of "DC / EP" or "DCEP" on the digital asset trading platform. The central bank stressed that no legal digital currency (DC / EP) was issued and no asset trading platform was authorized to trade. Neither "DC / EP" nor "DCEP" traded in the market is legal digital currency, and the launch time of legal digital currency transmitted through Internet is inaccurate information<

at present, the so-called issuance of legal digital currency in the Internet, and the behavior of indivial institutions launching "DC / EP" or "DCEP" in the name of the people's Bank of China to conct transactions on the asset trading platform may involve fraud and pyramid selling. The general public should raise their risk awareness, not be partial to trust, and guard against interest damage
as early as September 4, 2017, the central bank and other seven departments jointly issued the announcement on preventing the financing risk of token issuance (hereinafter referred to as the announcement), pointing out that the issuance of virtual currency, ICO and other suspected illegal financial activities seriously disrupted the economic and financial order, and no organization or indivial may engage in the above activities illegally.

2. After the people's Bank of China announced the launch of digital currency as soon as possible in January this year, Zhou Xiaochuan, governor of the people's Bank of China, recently gave a detailed description of the development of digital currency in an interview with Caixin weekly
Zhou Xiaochuan pointed out that as legal tender, digital currency must be issued by the central bank. The issue, circulation and transaction of digital currency should follow the idea of integration of traditional currency and digital currency, and implement the same principle of management. That is to say, q-coin and the like are definitely not good
as for whether to use blockchain technology to create digital currency. Zhou Xiaochuan said that the blockchain technology is an optional technology, but so far, the blockchain still occupies too many resources. Whether it is computing resources or storage resources, it can't cope with the current transaction scale, and whether it can be solved in the future depends on it. Zhou Xiaochuan said that in addition to blockchain technology, the digital currency research team of the people's Bank of China has also concted in-depth research on other related technologies involved in digital currency, such as mobile payment, trusted and controllable cloud computing, cryptographic algorithm, security chip, etc
it is certain that the digital currency issued by the central bank can never be the same as bitcoin, Ruitai, Qianjin card and other digital currencies. The digital currency issued by the central bank is just the digital currency.

On November 9, 2019, the central bank has not launched digital currency

in 2014, the Central Bank of China set up a special research team to conct in-depth research on the framework of digital currency issuance and business operation, key technologies of digital currency, issuance and circulation environment, and legal issues

in January 2017, the central bank officially established the digital currency Research Institute in Shenzhen

in September 2018, the Institute of digital currency built a trade finance blockchain platform

On July 8, 2019, at the launching ceremony of the digital finance open research program and the first academic seminar, Wang Xin, director of the Research Bureau of the people's Bank of China, disclosed that the State Council has officially approved the research and development of the central bank's digital currency, and the central bank is engaged in corresponding work in organizing market institutions

extended data:

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

On January 18, the business management department of the people's Bank of China issued the "notice on carrying out self inspection and rectification of payment services for illegal virtual currency transactions", which made it clear that the unit and its branches are strictly prohibited from providing services for virtual currency transactions, and took effective measures to prevent payment channels from being used for virtual currency transactions

the notice also shows that for the discovered virtual currency transactions, the payment channels of relevant transaction entities should be closed in time, and the funds to be settled should be properly handled

reported and quoted pan Gongsheng as saying in the memo: "we should always maintain a high pressure on the virtual money market, strictly prevent the risk of virtual money from gathering again, and eliminate the potential risks in the bud." He also said that the national and local authorities should ban the places that provide bitcoin and other virtual currency centralized trading, as well as the so-called "wallet" service providers that provide guarantee and clearing services for virtual currency centralized trading, and indivials or institutions that provide market maker services for centralized trading

5. Issuing digital currency can rece the high cost of issuing and circulating traditional banknotes, improve the convenience and transparency of economic transactions, rece money laundering, tax evasion and other illegal and criminal acts, enhance the central bank's control over money supply and currency circulation, better support economic and social development, and help the comprehensive realization of inclusive finance. In the future, the establishment of digital currency issuance and circulation system will also help China build a new financial infrastructure, further improve China's payment system, enhance the efficiency of payment and clearing, and promote the upgrading of economic quality and efficiency.

6. First, most of the virtual coins issued today are decentralized, but in this regard, the virtual coins issued by the central bank must not be able to do so. It must be centralized and easy to adjust
Second, the value of money must be stable in a certain period of time, and it will not be as high as virtual currency such as BTC. The main purpose of the central bank's issuing virtual currency is to replace the current paper currency to a certain extent. That is to say, if a virtual currency assumes a fixed value of one yuan, it will be one yuan for a long time, It will not and will not be allowed that a virtual currency will rise to 100 or even more than 1000
thirdly, the most conservative estimate is that once issued, domestic enterprises or banks can choose whether to pay virtual currency or cash currency (RMB) when they pay wages or withdraw money. To a certain extent, cash will exist for a long time, instead of being issued all at once, all of them will be replaced by virtual currency, and all cash will be invalid, It's not realistic. It can only be said that it will be replaced graally
Fourth, the purpose of the central bank to issue virtual currency is to replace the current paper currency. Therefore, there must be a lot of similarities between this kind of virtual currency and the current paper currency. You can also directly replace the paper currency with the virtual currency, so you can have a good understanding of the nature of the virtual currency issued by the central bank. Therefore, the central bank's virtual currency is absolutely not allowed to appear, and the currency price is falsely high
therefore, it can be seen from the above points that the central bank's virtual currency is a new type of RMB, but it used to be physical, but now it is electronic and virtual. This is just like the use of real gold and silver in ancient times, and the appearance of "Jiaozi", that is, paper money, is only a kind of progress of the times. Other things are meaningless, just for the convenience of transaction, portability or personal property security. If you want to make money by investing in currency speculation, you can give up the idea. It's meaningless. If you just want to experience the freshness brought by the new currency, just wait quietly. Come out early, come out late, come out sooner or later. But then again, I'm looking forward to it.

7. On January 20, 2016, the digital currency seminar of the people's Bank of China announced that the research on digital currency has achieved phased results. Zhou Xiaochuan, governor of the people's Bank of China, attended the meeting, and fan Yifei, vice governor of the people's Bank of China, presided over the meeting. The meeting affirmed the value of digital currency in recing the issuance of traditional currency, and indicated that the central bank was exploring the issue of digital currency. However, Zhou Xiaochuan later said that the digital currency to be issued by the central bank is different from bitcoin, Ruitai currency and vitality currency.

8. No, Absolutely not! Don't listen to the rumor
if it helps you, remember to adopt it

9. More convenient and fast, the central bank plans to issue more digital currency for payment, Ruitai currency. Unlike bitcoin, which can replace paper money, vitality money and Wright money, it is impossible to trade freely in the market instead of hyping the central bank's virtual currency, which is just the digitization of RMB
