“# Digital yuan will work with WeChat and Alipay, says bank exec <\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

The forthcoming digital yuan will reportedly be compatible with major payment networks within the country.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mu Changchun, the head of the People’s Bank of China’s digital currency research institute, said that the central bank-backed digital yuan will be compatible with major mobile payment wallets like WeChat Pay and Alipay.<\/p>\n

According to a report<\/a> from South China Morning Post, Mu said during a conference that the digital yuan will not compete with WeChat Pay and Alipay:<\/p>\n

\u201cThey don\u2019t belong to the same dimension. WeChat and Alipay are wallets, while the digital yuan is the money in the wallet.\u201d<\/p>\n

These recent statements would app<\/a>ear to contradict earlier reports<\/a> from local sources suggesting that China may launch its digital currency as an alternative to the two payment giants.<\/p>\n

The digital yuan is currently accessible to limited users through an exclusive mobile wallet application. At the conference, Mu said that the mobile wallets for digital yuan face the age-old problem of counterfeiting, stating that there were multiple fake digital yuan wallets in the market.<\/p>\n

Mu said it would only be possible to reduce the impact of counterfeit wallets if all parties involved, from the central bank to the users, take necessary cautions.<\/p>\n

On a different note, Mu said that the digital yuan operates on a centralized infrastructure, differentiating it from private currencies like Facebook<\/a>’s Libra and Bitcoin (BTC).<\/p>\n

China has progressed rapidly with its central bank digital currency initiative. Last week, it\u00a0published a draft law to provide a regulatory framework and legitimacy for its digital yuan. At present, the central bank is conducting pilot tests across the country for its CBDC.<\/p>\n

In one of the largest pilot tests, local authorities distributed $1.5 million worth of digital yuan to 50,000 of the 1.9 million people who signed up for a giveaway.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
