Crypto Industry Outlook:
The People's Bank of China (PBoC) allegedly plans to use its Digital Currency Electronic Payment system (DCEP) - another term for a central bank's digital currency - to undermine the dominance of tech giants such as Alibaba and Tencent in the digital payments industry.
The report comes just days after the central bank's claims prompted a leading antitrust agency to investigate Alipay and WeChat Pay for using their dominance to stifle competition.
Even regulators and executives from Alibaba Ant's financial group have agreed that the PBoC will seek to undermine the market dominance of Alipay and WeChat Pay, according to the financial media.
Currently, Alibaba's financial subsidiary Alipay and Tencent's WeChat Pay control most of China's digital payments, while banks are lagging far behind. In the first quarter of 2020, Alipay processed nearly 56% of all mobile payments in China.
According to details received by the media from several officials familiar with central bank strategies, the PBoC will use DCEP to provide banks with a level playing field in digital payments, as it has done to tech giants before.
Reflecting on the unprecedented use of digital payments by tech giants, head of Asian economic research at a major international bank said former PBoC governor Zhou Xiaochuan had allowed Alipay and WeChat Pay to "grow into monsters" despite complaints from Chinese banks and the China Banking Regulatory Commission.
