The startup has attracted funding from the giant Alibaba in the amount of up to $ 800 million in 2018. This Hong Kong company will develop software to assess the risks associated with the massive introduction of the Chinese token.
Note that the People's Bank of China has already achieved great results in the creation of a regulated digital currency.
The coronavirus pandemic has slowed research in this direction. Still, the leadership of the Central Bank promises not to stop halfway and to issue a coin very soon.
