  How will DCEP impact the current Chinese stance on cryptos?
  It is an interesting move by the Chinese officials. Considering that China has always been having a hostile stance against Bitcoin. BTC is still facing a ban. Despite Chinese Bitcoin miners are considered to be the main cause for ±70 percent of BTC’s hash rate. Nevertheless, the launch of a Chinese Central Bank Digital Asset could change the overall acceptance of cryptos in China. However, some would argue that it could threaten the existing online payment systems in China, such as Alipay and WeChat Pay. These online payment giants in China has recently banned any crypto transactions on its platform.
