After Suzhou and Shenzhen, the central bank-led digital currency pilot city landed in the capital Beijing. On February 7, the Beijing digital currency pilot officially opened a dating registration channel.
On February 6, the Beijing Municipal Financial Supervision and Administration Office announced that on the first anniversary of the countdown to the opening of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, in order to implement the Olympic Games action plan Winter science and technology and strengthen the construction of the Winter Olympics payment service environment, Beijing will focus on the consumption of the Winter Olympics. Full scene, start “digitalWangfujing RMB digital pilot activity “Ice and Snow Shopping Festival”.
The “Digital Wangfujing Ice and Snow Shopping Festival” event is reportedly sponsored by the People’s Government of Dongcheng District, Beijing. By making appointments and raffling the issuance of red envelopes, the winners receive 50,000 renminbi digital red envelopes, each worth 200 yuan.
After the appointment opens today, the result of the lottery will be announced at 9:00 p.m. on February 10 (the lottery will be randomly selected by the Beijing Fangyuan Notary). After winning the lottery, you can download the “RMB Digital APP” according to the event rules and open a personal digital wallet to receive the red envelope.
It is worth noting that the winning red envelope consumption scene includes two channels, designated merchants online and offline. Online can be done in Jingdong APP and Jingxi APP. JD.com is understood to be the first mall app to access the digital renminbi in the digital currency pilot. It has previously supported two rounds of Suzhou digital currency red envelope pilots; offline purchases are made at designated merchants in the Wangfujing area of Dongcheng District, Beijing. The consumer activity period is February 10 (the 29th of the twelfth lunar month) to February 17 (the sixth day of the first lunar month) Red envelopes that have not been obtained or used will be returned to the fund provider.
Also, no need to link a bank card to receive and use the RMB digital red envelope at “Wangfujing Ice and Snow Digital Shopping Festival”. You can register without the bank cards of the six banks of Industry, Agriculture, China, Construction, Communications and Postal Savings.
At present, many Beijing citizens have posted the registration interface on social networking sites, and their participation has been very active. Some foreign netizens envied: “Can other provinces come to copy homework?”
However, Jiemian News noted that many netizens complained that there are too few red envelopes in Beijing and that the level of consumption of Wangfujing in the offline consumption scene is high. 200 yuan can only be considered as a coupon to encourage staying in Beijing during the New Year. .
According to Jiemian News, this is the first large-scale opening of the digital currency to the public since Beijing started its digital currency pilot program.
In December 2020, some media reported that a digital renminbi application scenario test was launched at a coffee shop called “Manmao Coffee” in Jintang Mansion West of Lize Bridge. According to the news from the interface, the scene is only open to the digital currency research institute and internal staff of the central bank system. During the reporter’s field experience, many people who came here were disappointed and left after learning that they could not experience it. .
In addition, earlier this year, the Beijing Subway Daxing Airport Line also launched a small-scale digital currency test. World figure skating champion Shen Xue and other experimenters were invited to open a digital renminbi wallet, use digital renminbi to buy Daxing Airport Line Subway Tickets, and experience the use of digital renminbi for the first time. Ski gloves and handheld wallet “touch” the station through the subway turnstile.
Before Beijing, large-scale digital currency testing was only done in Shenzhen and Suzhou.
Public information shows that the digital renminbi was the first to be tested in Shenzhen in October last year, and Shenzhen’s Luohu District, Futian District and Longhua District have successively launched a total of three rounds of red envelope testing in digital renminbi in Shenzhen, with 10 million yuan, 20 million yuan and 20 million yuan respectively; Suzhou also launched a total of two rounds of red envelope testing in December last year and on February 5 this year. The total scale of red envelopes was 20 million yuan and 30 million yuan respectively.
It can be seen that the pilot cities will not only carry out a round of red envelope activities in digital renminbi. As public enthusiasm for the digital renminbi continues, the total number of red envelopes will continue to increase and the applicable scenarios will continue to expand.
Previously, Shanghai also had two pilot news reports, but until now, Shanghai has not been fully open to citizens.
In early January 2021, Dr. Yu Yiming from Tongren Hospital affiliated with Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine took the lead in using renminbi digital wallet with display and graphics card provided by Postal Savings Bank of China, which can perform functions such as ordering meals. in the hospital staff restaurant.Since then, ShanghaiLujiazuiThe central mall has also started a digital pilot test in RMB. In beverage stores like 7fentian and Guozhimanman, only Alipay employees can pay in digital RMB.
Recently, Beijing, Shanghai and Guangdong Province have successively released the 2021 “Government Work Report”, all of whom consider promoting digital currency pilot applications as a key task in 2021. It is foreseeable that it will only be a matter of time. before digital currencies reach the homes of ordinary people.
