The US, China and the UK are three countries that own most blockchain companies in the world.
Former PBoC Govenor: China’s Central Bank-Backed Digital Currency Will Focus On Domestic Market
In a recent summit held in Beijing, former PBoC (People’s Bank of China) governor ZHOU Xiaochuan appeared and made comments. Here are the main points of him:
1.In a reply to the question “Whether PBoC launched a timetable for the release of digital currencies,” ZHOU said some mints once said a potential substitution of paper money can be digital currencies five years ago, but they didn’t discuss the possibility of applying blockchain or distributed ledgers in details;
2.Third-party payment plays an important role in China’s payment industry, which grows towards the e-payment, and develops rapidly. Blockchain and distributed ledgers are still in an early stage in China. And he also believes digital currency has not been employed widely by global countries with Libra breaking forth nothing but a concept;
3.ZHOU revealed that PBoC once brought in some seminars to introduce blockchain and distributed ledgers. Considering blockchain and distributed ledgers are more suitable for small transactions, PBoC chose two systems — bill business and trade financing to do trials;
4.People still have many doubts about the hosting of Libra such as how to confirm the amount of the reserve fund, whether a private Libra Association lacks public transparency, and whether this Association aims to profit form interests;
5.PBoC’s digital currency will focus on domestic China, especially in such areas as wholesale between the banking industry and the third-party payment industry. Theoretically, it can provide services to retails but potentially at the expense of exposing China’s financial industry to great shocks. So, the organization is very cautious about this. A united mechanism may be needed if PBoC is to provide cross-border remittance or investment with such technologies.
In the past few hours, there was a steady decline in bitcoin from the $9,440 high against the US Dollar. The last swing high was near $9,374 before the price declined below the $9,300 support area.
Moreover, there was a close below the $9,300 support and the 100 hourly simple moving average. Finally, the price spiked below the $9,120 support area and traded as low as $9,084.
It is currently correcting higher above the $9,120 level. Additionally, it surpassed the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $9,374 high to $9,084 low.
However, the price is facing a lot of hurdles on the upside near the $9,240 and $9,300 levels. More importantly, there is a major bearish trend line forming with resistance near $9,240 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.
