    Digital yuan faces internal testing ahead of full-scale deployment

    Having passed limited roll-outs in seven cities including Beijing and Hong Kong, China’s digital currency is undergoing full-scale internal testing ahead of a broader launch

    “The internal testing is mainly to test the technical reliability and maturity of the digital currency," said Fan Yifei, deputy governor of the PBoC. "The internal test requires that the digital currency should only run within a very clear boundary, which is quite demanding for the test scenario.”
