China Aiming to Launch Digital Currency in Time for Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

China is reportedly on course to release the much-anticipated digital yuan in time for it to be used at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.

According to Eastmoney, experts familiar with the digital yuan project claim there is a “long way to go” before an official launch, but that it is still likely that the People’s Bank of China will release the central-bank digital currency (CBDC) before the start of the Games on February 4 2022.

It would likely be the first CBDC launched by an economic superpower.

A CBDC involves using blockchain technology to represent a country’s official currency, meaning it is regulated by a central bank unlike popular existing cryptocurrencies.
