Cryptocurrency has made its place in the market and expanding day by day. To be in the crypto market, China introduced its digital currency named Digital Yuan and conducted pilot tests for better regulation. Following the trend, now different telecom validators in China seem to be interested in Digital Yuan and willing to embrace the Digital Yuan revolution.
People’s Bank of China claimed that the initiative taken by telecoms would boost the adoption of CBDC. A couple of weeks back, the central bank of China issued Digital Yuan’s hard wallet solutions based on offline SIM cards. The solution would enable users to pay with Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) even during the down network coverage. Currently, the proposed solution would be available on Android cell phones which would work on even 2G network-supported cell phones.
