🇨🇳 Chinese media:

⊹ Bitcoin is NOT a real currency, but a financial asset with specific characteristics.

⊹ Bitcoin has its own investment value.

⊹ Stablecoins can have a significant impact on the international financial system.

⊹ If the stablecoin linked to the USD begins to be actively used in the digital economy, it will strengthen the hegemony of the dollar.

⊹ China needs to develop its own stablecoins (linked to yuan) and expand the use of digital tokens on Internet platforms.

⊹ With competent design and risk control, the expansion of digital tokens will increase the international status of the yuan.

⊹ This will allow China to more effectively resist the influence of stablecoins pegged to the US dollar.

The article in the Study Times was written by the deputy director of the Institute of Finance of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and the deputy director of the National Laboratory of Finance.
