Digital yuan to be tested at the 2022 Olympics

The head of the monetary policy department of the Central Bank of China, Sun Guofeng, said that the authorities intend to test the national cryptocurrency during the Olympic Games in Beijing in 2022. Writes about this edition of Reuters. Recently, the geography of testing the digital asset has been expanded and now affects areas such as Chengdu and Xiong’an, Hebei and Guangdong provinces, but the exact dates of the launch of the cryptocurrency are still not named.

It should be noted that the central bank attracts companies working in various fields to research a new trading instrument: taxi and delivery services, hotels, fast food restaurants. But the information on the use of cryptocurrency in large real estate transactions in Shenzhen has not been confirmed.
