At present, regarding the innovation of digital currency, the whole world is crossing the river by feeling the stones. The digital renminbi has been at the international forefront and has the opportunity to make greater contributions to the promotion of national economic development. Focusing on how to accelerate the development of digital renminbi, it is suggested that:

First, from the daily consumption of ordinary people, let the digital renminbi truly become cash in everyone’s pockets. You can connect the most down-to-earth life scenarios, such as paying utility bills, buying stock lottery tickets, seeing a doctor, and ordering takeaways, to popularize usage scenarios as much as possible.

Second, to build a unified national market, start with the unified national payment data, and straighten out and gather all kinds of transaction data across the country. Orientation, classification and tracking of currencies, so that the data can be “coarse and fine”.

Third, select some digital fields with great influence and active transactions as pilots, start from small cakes, and gradually increase the influence of digital renminbi. We can start from the advantageous and promising digital trade field to improve the independence of digital finance.
