Mu Changchun: The Multilateral Central Bank Digital Currency Bridge Can Connect The Digital Currencies of Different Central Banks

Mu Changchun, director of the Digital Currency Research Institute of the People's Bank of China, said today at the 2022 Hong Kong Fintech Week that the multilateral central bank Digital Currency Bridge project uses fintech tools to fully reuse existing infrastructure and realize connectivity between different central bank digital currency systems and traditional financial market infrastructure.

According to Mu Changchun, the application of the central bank's digital currency in cross-border scenarios needs to consider different regulatory requirements and the heterogeneity of technical standards in different jurisdictions.

The Currency Bridge has an infrastructure docking module established at the beginning of the business design, which is compatible with a variety of docking modes, including the fact that both cross-border receivers and payers have their own CBDC systems, or that one of them has not yet built a legal tender digital currency (CBDC) system.

Therefore, having a national central bank digital currency system is not a prerequisite for participating in the Currency Bridge project.

  • Trump team files complaint over Harris inheriting $96 million in Biden campaign funds

    According to reports from foreign media, the Trump campaign team has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission, claiming that Biden's transfer of $96 million in campaign funds to Harris is illegal. David Warrington, a lawyer for the Trump campaign team, said that this was a "shameless money-grabbing act" and would constitute the largest excessive donation and most serious violation in the history of the Federal Election Law. Shortly after Biden withdrew from the election and appointed Harris as his preferred successor, she took over Biden's campaign committee's bank account. Steve Roberts, a lawyer who represented Republican candidates, said that the argument against the transfer was a "wishful thinking" of his Republican colleagues. The Harris campaign team said that this complaint would not affect its fundraising or spending.

  • Crypto Industry Disappointed as Digital Assets Fail to Make an Appearance in First 2024 US Presidential Debate

    Despite hopes from industry participants, the topic of crypto was not discussed during the first general debate of the 2024 U.S. presidential election between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. The debate, hosted by CNN, primarily focused on the economy, with brief mentions of other issues such as abortion, immigration, and foreign policy. While crypto has been a talking point throughout the election cycle, neither candidate made any significant statements about it during the debate. The crypto industry is hoping for a Congress and administration that will pass legislation friendly to digital asset businesses, and is looking to repeat the massive spending on elections from 2022.
