DCEP cryptocurrency price

The digital yuan or e-CNY is a digital version of China’s sovereign currency and has been in the works since 2014. It is not a cryptocurrency like bitcoin but is instead issued and controlled by the People’s Bank of China.

How to buy DCEP? Currently DCEP is only available to other banks working with the People’s Bank of China . This will eventually open up to the general public in 2020. There are currently no cryptocurrency exchanges that trade DCEP.

The clampdown in China comes as the country’s central bank has been testing its own digital currency, the electronic Chinese yuan. A notice posted by the central bank explicitly called out Bitcoin and Ether , the two most popular cryptocurrencies, for being issued by “non-monetary authorities.”
