For the first time, a Chinese government official has recognized the value of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. The People\u2019s Bank of China Deputy Governor, Li Bo, called these assets an important part of the future at the Boao Forum for Asia, per a report by Colin Wu.<\/p>\n

Bo said Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies should be regarded as alternative investments and revealed China is studying regulatory policies towards these assets. The official clarified cryptocurrencies are not legal tenders and further added stablecoins will \u201crequired stricter supervision\u201d for them to be widely adopted. Bo said<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Although this regulatory rule is the minimum regulatory rule, there are still regulatory rules. And it is necessary to ensure that speculation in such assets will not cause serious financial risks. In other words, before we figure out what regulatory rules are needed, we will continue to maintain the current measures and practices.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
In the event, Bo was accompanied by the Former Governor of the Central Bank of China Zhou Xiaochuan highlighted \u201cfinance\u201d, cryptocurrencies, and digital assets should serve the \u201creal economy\u201d. Later, Xiaochuan said he has a \u201cquestion\u201d about whether Bitcoin and digital currencies have \u201cbenefits\u201d for the real economy.<\/p>\n

The Central Bank of China is developing its digital RMB or digital yuan. Currently, the institution is testing and developing for their central bank digital currency (CBDC) user interface, wallet, and other features.<\/p>\n
The People\u2019s Bank of China Deputy Governor said the government is not aiming to \u201creplace the U.S. dollar\u201d or any other currency. Bo claimed the CBDC has been designed to \u201cfacilitate trade and investment\u201d and expect the market to \u201cchoose\u201d the best way to do so.<\/p>\n
As reported by Dovey Wan, founder partner at Primitive Crypto, the digital currency and electronic payment (DCEP) is being tested in the province of Shenzhen. Its first integration could come from government installments, Wan said<\/a>:<\/p>\n
(\u2026) some municipal payment and public economic activity will be first adopted, then merchant adoption. China is really good at deploying new tech infra\u2013at large scale, this won\u2019t be exception.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
