transactions. It was 100 years ago, back when the global currency was still a coin. Fiat

integrated management apps that simplify financial management.

China and the development process of the currency has been going on for the past five years
through active conversions of banks' holdings shifting to a digital Yuan model within the
country. As a means of managing digital transactions in the country, and to offer citizens
legal and legalized cryptocurrency to manage operations, the central Chinese Bank has
actively developed the digital currency. The digital Yuan has emerged as a way for the
country to tap into the unbanked populace across the country to increase the reach of the
individuals into the mainstream economy. The main goal of the country has been to
transform into cash-free because of the inherent benefits vested in the choice to move away
from cash banking options including reducing the risk of illegal activity and fraud.
