China is further along than most countries in developing a central bank digital currency (CBDC). Last week, the country included the digital yuan in cash circulation for the first time. It also added a function to its e-CNY payment app that allows users to make payments offline, according to media outlet Yicai Global.
In October, e-CNY transactions reached a milestone of 100 billion yuan ($14 billion).
Countries around the world are forging ahead with CBDCs, and most central banks are looking to issue a CBDC within 10 years, according to a report from the Official Monetary and Financial Institutions Forum, an independent think tank. The Bahamas, Jamaica and Nigeria have already issued a CBDC.
Soochow Securities didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
