China’s crypto, digital yuan, is having hopeful progress so far. You may have noticed how multiple administrations joined the crypto market in the past few months. China has declared its crypto success in Suzhou City, where 181,000 customers got free currency on their digital wallets, worth Yuan 55. They were to spend the free money on the participants of the Double Fifth Festival, between first and fifth May.
That was among the tests targeting 500,000 clients since April in eleven Chinese regions. As an eligible user, you will have no hurdles. You only have to download an app to access the digital wallet. Moreover, you will receive discounts after buying in multiple participating stores.
The digital yuan works similarly to other virtual coins such as Bitcoin. The Chinese crypto uses blockchain technology, a secure online ledger. However, People’s Bank has control over who can access the yuan Blockchain.
The country has now tested many individuals, compared to last year autumn. China has also tried to apply the yuan crypto in the cross-border between the neighboring Shenzhen and Hong Kong. They are also developing cryptocurrency platforms to ensure that you can access the yuan virtual money from any place in the world. UAE and Thailand might be their first target clients.
Also read:Keep in mind that China is ensuring every step to become the first nation to use permissioned blockchain in its currency. Although they have not announced any date, you may expect the project to take effect next year, in different stages.
The Dangers
The first challenge revolves around international transactions. Currently, most payments between various currencies use the United States dollar. That means increased US dollar demand, which has benefits like allowing the US to borrow cheaply. However, China admitted that it is not using the digital yuan to replace the US dollar.
Another risk is if the central bank does not meet the crypto demand, market forces might. China introduced paper money in the 11 century. However, digital money proves to be the best as more people are using contactless cards during COVID.
Lastly, banks located in nations that will not embrace virtual currencies might lose monetary policy control to cryptocurrencies.
