Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

China’s digital yuan comes to mind. Most recently, the People’s Bank of China began testing the currency in Hong Kong and exploring cross-border transfer protocols with Thailand and the UAE. Digital yuan, known as Digital Currency Electronic Payment (DC/EP), is controlled by a central authority and administered through commercial banks.

DC/EP’s expeditious rollout is driven by China’s robust fintech sector and bitcoin. After studying the cryptocurrency, Beijing’s top banking official was equal parts “dazzled” and “frightened,” per the WSJ.
