China Inaugurates Digital Yuan Operation Centre to Push CBDC Integration: Report
The center launched three platforms to enhance cross-border digital finance and aims to reduce reliance on the US dollar, advancing the digital yuan's global use, officials said.
- In Shanghai on Thursday, the People's Bank of China inaugurated the Digital RMB International Operations Center, unveiling three platforms for cross-border payments, blockchain services and digital assets.
- Earlier this year, PBOC Governor Pan Gongsheng outlined eight measures to boost yuan internationalization, with the hub following June state media calls and a July SASAC strategic meeting on digital currencies.
- The Digital Currency Institute of the PBOC will manage the centre to develop cross-border and blockchain infrastructure for e-CNY, with Lu Lei, PBOC deputy governor, saying it will facilitate cross-border payments and strengthen Shanghai's role as a financial hub.
- By embedding the digital yuan into global infrastructure, Chinese officials said the hub aims to advance the yuan's internationalisation and reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar in cross-border payments.
- The stablecoin moves dovetail with the PBOC's broader internationalisation push as AnchorX last week launched the first CNH-tied stablecoin despite mainland China's 2021 ban on crypto trading and mining.
