#China will soon roll out its central bank digital currency (#CBDC), said Mu Changchun,Deputy Chief in the Payment and Settlement Division of #PBoC on Sat. m.huoxing24.com/newsdetailShar…

CBDC will employ a two-tier operational structure:#PBoC is the upper level and the commercial banks are the second level. #blockchain #fintech

This dual delivery system is suitable for #China. It can use existing resources to mobilize the enthusiasm of commercial banks and smoothly improve the acceptance of #digitalcurrency.

This operation system will not change the debtor-creditor relationship of the currency in circulation. In order to ensure that central bank does not overissue digital currency, commercial institutions need to pay central bank full and 100% reserves.

#China's CBDC will not rely entirely on a pure #blockchain architecture, as this would not allow the currency to achieve the throughput required for retail usage.
