More central banks are exploring and implementing digital currencies, as crypto market investments amongst retail consumers are increasing. Institutional participants who are also investing in cryptocurrency are having a huge contribution to the conversation.

Mu Changchun, the head of the PBoC's digital currency research institute, suggested a set of global CBDC rules last week. Mu, presenting at a Bank for International Settlements seminar, urged global financial institutions to maintain national digital currencies' global connectivity.

The most recent news represents an important update to China's CBDC growth. This has followed the launch of internal digital yuan pilots back in April 2020, the Chinese central bank has continued trying to expand its CBDC as much as possible.
