Equivalent to around $1.3 million in spend, citizens of Shenzhen in China were participating in the trial which saw them turn to the as-yet-unreleased digital currency for payments in a variety of everyday settings.

First reported in the South China Morning Post, the figures come as the latest findings from China’s slow roll-out of the currency, which has been gathering pace in recent months.
