Digital currency may promote ecological civilization construction

Our reporter Guo Wei reported from Beijing that a joint research team on the supervision of digital currency and quasi-currency digital assets operations was recently established in Beijing to conduct a two-year systematic study on the supervision of digital currency operations.

Jiang Guoping, director of the Internet of Things Network Model Research Project of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization and chief economist of the Beijing Sansheng Environment and Development Research Institute, believes that the emergence of digital currency is an inevitable phenomenon of the continuous development of the information society and a concrete manifestation of the continuous development of the information technology-led productivity form, which will promote new changes in the social and economic structure. From the perspective of the evolution of civilization, the new era of civilization can be called "ecological civilization."

He said that there is a blockchain system called "Ethereum" in foreign countries, and its founders are studying how to use it to build a global open financial ecosystem, trying to make digital currency both a transaction currency for purchasing goods and a capital currency for investing in corporate equity assets. If the flow of digital currency can be directed to ecological products and corporate equity investment in ecological products as much as possible, digital currency can strongly promote the development of social ecological civilization.

The reporter learned that in recent years, China's scientific and technological community has achieved outstanding performance that surpasses blockchain technology in realizing secure accounts, transfer and delivery, and traceability of digital currencies and other information assets.

According to the plan of the joint research team, the Institute of Economic System and Management of the National Development and Reform Commission will provide guidance for the design and optimization of the corresponding mechanism. At the same time, relying on the business model and operation system of the Yunji Mall, based on its existing large-scale real trading activities, it will be used as a pilot base for research and testing to avoid the situation where relevant foreign institutions are stuck in idleness due to the lack of good experimental test data.
