Recently, many local media reported that the third batch of e-CNY pilot areas in China will be unveiled soon. Tianjin, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, and Fuzhou, Fujian Province are expected to be selected.
近日，多家国内媒体报道，中国第三批数字人民币试点即将揭幕。预计将在天津、浙江杭州和福建福州试点。
According to industry insiders interviewed by local media outlet Securities Daily, as the previous pilot program worked its way through the broader market, the application and technical architecture of the digital RMB have been understood by the market. Regulatory authorities, commercial banks and related service providers have accumulated extensive experience in this process, which suggests it is a good time to further expand the pilot program of the e-CNY.
接受当地媒体《证券日报》采访的业内人士透露，随着此前试点项目在更广泛的市场中逐步展开，数字人民币的应用和技术架构已经为市场所了解。监管机构、商业银行和相关服务提供商在此过程中积累了丰富的经验，这表明现在是进一步扩大数字人民币试点的好时机。
In fact, since the second half of last year, provinces and cities in non-pilot areas have been competing for the newest rounds of the e-CNY pilot program. For example, Heilongjiang Province, Henan Province and Fuzhou all mentioned the e-CNY pilot in their recent policy announcements.
事实上，自去年下半年以来，非试点地区的省市一直在争夺最新一轮的e-CNY试点项目。例如，黑龙江省、河南省和福州省在最近的政策公告中都提到了数字人民币试点。
According to the latest data disclosed by the People’s Bank of China, as of the end of 2021, there were more than 8,085,100 pilot schemes involving the e-CNY, and a total of 261 million personal wallets were opened, with a transaction amount totaling 87.565 billion yuan ($14 billion).
根据中国人民银行公布的最新数据，截至2021年底，涉及数字货币的试点计划超过808.51万个，共开通个人钱包2.61亿个，交易金额达875.65亿元人民币（140亿美元）。
Since the beginning of this year, the e-CNY pilot has been expanded to more locations. On January 4, the e-CNY (pilot version) App was released and saw a download volume of more than 20 million. During the Beijing Winter Olympics, the e-CNY became a highlight of the financial services. Three large-scale digital RMB pilot activities were carried out, with a transaction amount of 9.6 billion yuan.
自今年年初以来，数字人民币试点已扩大到更多地区。1月4日，e-CNY（试行版）App发布，下载量超过2000万。在北京冬奥会期间，数字人民币成为金融服务的一大亮点。共开展了三项大型数字人民币试点活动，交易金额达96亿元。
