JUST IN: Chinese Central Bank to Launch Digital Currency Called “DCEP”
- This is a very significant development. But the western MSM is rather quiet on it. It is in simple term an assault on the US dollar as world reserve currency. This digital currency is asset backed (ie. gold backed). See video bottom of post, comments: “The soon to-be-unveiled digital currency will be backed by the reserves of valuable assets that commercial institutions deposit in the central bank. Many say the proposed currency could encourage global use of China’s yuan.“

Huang Qifan, executive vice president of the China International Economic Exchange Centre, has confirmed that the People’s Bank of China plans to roll out its own digital currency, which will be called “DCEP” (digital currency electronic payment).

China Finance 40 Forum (CF40), the organization that focuses on finance policy research and academic exchange, published a video that features an excerpt from Qifan’s speech during the inaugural Bund Summit that is taking place from Oct. 27 till Oct. 29.

Qifan reveals that China has been working on the project for about five or six years. After the launch of the DCEP coin, the PBoC will become the very first central bank in the world to issue its own cryptocurrency.

DCEP can achieve real-time collection of data related to money creation, bookkeeping, etc, providing useful reference for the provision of money and the implementation of monetary policies

Tongues have been waggling about the state-backed Chinese digital currency for quite a while. As reported by U.Today, it could pose a serious threat to AliPay and WeChat Pay.

Latter, it seemed like the “China Coin” was temporarily shelved — a source close to the Chinese Communist Party revealed that the cryptocurrency would not be launched anytime soon.

However, President Xi Jinping’s embracement of the Blockchain technology has put China at the forefront of the crypto conversation once again. A senior Chinese official also opined that Blockchain needed “special attention” after Xi’s comments.

The People’s Bank of China could become the world’s first central bank to introduce its own digital currency. It has applied for 74 patents involving digital currencies to the National Intellectual Property Administration. The soon to-be-unveiled digital currency will be backed by the reserves of valuable assets that commercial institutions deposit in the central bank. Many say the proposed currency could encourage global use of China’s yuan. How will this revolutionize the monetary landscape in China and abroad?
