The 2022 world internet conference Wuzhen Summit opened on November 9th in Wuzhen, Zhejiang. The theme of this conference is “Building a Cyberworld, Creating a Digital Future-Building a Community of Cyberspace Destiny Together”. At the “Light of the Internet” Expo, digital RMB has become a new bright spot.
Visitors to the “Digital RMB Consumption Experience Station” of Bank of Communications are in constant stream. “How can I register this digital RMB?” and “Can I use it after receiving the red envelope?” “Can this shiny’ little mutual’ doll pay for it with a flash of light?” Two staff members enthusiastically and patiently answered various questions.
On-site personnel can open digital RMB wallets by scanning the invitation code, and receive the exclusive 40 yuan digital RMB red envelope of the Internet Conference. The red envelope can be used free of charge in the digital RMB consumption experience station and the dining area of the venue by scanning the code of the digital RMB APP or using the digital RMB applet.
At present, with the orderly progress of the digital RMB pilot in Zhejiang Province, the application scenarios are constantly enriched, and the transaction scale continues to expand. Digital RMB has gradually entered the production and life of enterprises and people in the pilot areas. By the end of October, Zhejiang digital RMB pilot areas (Hangzhou, Ningbo, Wenzhou, Huzhou, Shaoxing and Jinhua) had opened a total of 700,000 digital RMB corporate wallets and 19.75 million personal wallets, with a total of 25.23 million digital RMB transactions, with a transaction amount of 16.2 billion yuan and 740,000 landing applications.
