“China Construction Bank (CCB) has opened digital RMB wallet registration, and users can now apply for digital RMB wallet by searching for “digital currency” on CCB App. The wallet currently supports bank card recharge, QR code collection and payment, as well as transfers. #CBDC”

Now when anyone searches again with “digital currency” it says that the service is not available officially at the moment for you. This is the message that people get when they search in the CCB mobile app, “This function is not yet officially available to the public. Please wait patiently.”
This means that the work is continuously being done by the Chinese government and commercial banks on their central bank digital currency (CBDC) known as the digital Yuan and its adoption in the country. The trail projects of Digital Yuan are currently being conducted by the People’s Bank of China (PBoC) in various major cities across the country and the centralized digital currency will soon be launched officially.
