China to Launch DCEP in four Pilot Cities
The central bank scheduled to test digital currency by May. According to the plan, the 50% travel subsidies will be given to employees in China’s four different cities including Xiongan, Suzhou, Shenzhen, and Chengdu.
China is thinking about launching its digital currency since last year. If China becomes successful in rolling out its state digital currency, it will become the first-ever country having state-owned cryptocurrency. “China, which aims to lead the world in AI and 5G mobile communications, would become the first major economy to roll out its own digital currency when its tests are completed. There has been no official timetable announced for launching the digital currency,” the report added.
The central bank of China will govern and control the supply and distribution of digital yuan. It will then issue the cryptocurrency via different commercial banks. The tech applications will offer their part in transferring assets such as WeChat and Alipay.
