China’s central bank digital currency (CBDC) has been used to conduct 62 billion yuan ($9.7 billion) of transactions as of the end of October.

  • A People’s Bank of China (PBOC) official said Wednesday that 140 million people had opened wallets for the digital yuan, or “eCNY,” according to a report by Reuters.
  • Mu Changchun, director-general of the digital currency institute of China’s central bank, told Hong Kong’s Fintech Week conference that over 1.5 million merchants could accept payments using eCNY wallets.
  • In addition, 10 million corporate accounts have been created, Bloomberg reported.
  • The figures compare with those at the end of June, when there were 34 million individual and corporate eCNY wallet users who had conducted transactions worth $5.4 billion, according to Bloomberg.
  • There is no official launch date for the CBDC, Mu said. The eCNY has been undergoing trials in cities across China over the last year.
