Ex-Deputy Head of the People’s Bank of China: Bitcoin is the most successful commercial application of blockchain

The ex-head of the deputy head of the Central Bank, Wu Xiaolin, recognized bitcoin as one of the most successful ways to commercialize the blockchain, but noted that the asset cannot yet compete with fiat funds as a means of payment.

So, according to the ex-official, the national currency issued by the state has several advantages over electronic money. So, digital assets demonstrate high volatility and they are not yet recognized by the regulators of most countries. “An innovative format is not an explosion of all financial laws and rules. In the future, digital currency will be increasingly integrated into life, and we must take it objectively, ”Wu Xiaolin said.

It is worth noting that the country’s authorities are still wary of such assets. So, in May of this year, representatives of the Central Party School issued a book for civil servants, which, among other issues, covered the issue of digital currencies, and indicated that if the world community recognizes the Facebook asset (Libra), the yuan may lose its position on the world arena.
