Despite Digital Yuan’s Rollout, People Will Still Prefer US Dollar
Ever since the China government has started its pilot programs over the official launch of its digital currency, the debate of it overtaking potential international currencies has begun. While some people think that with the dawn of the virtual Yuan, China’s economy will be even more powerful and could have a huge impact on the leading international currencies, including Bitcoin.
Whereas some people think that China’s CBDC was never a threat to global currencies. For instance, Henry Paulson, former Treasury Secretary to the US Government, has said that the so hyped China’s CBDC to affect Dollar’s status worldwide is not a serious concern at all. He says that despite the digital Yuan’s rollout, people will continue to prefer Dollar on which important commodities such as oil, crude depend.
