Easy conversion of fiat to digital yuan

According to the report by the China Times, the Bank of China revealed this new machine that is capable of converting any foreign currency into the digital yuan, making currency conversion way easier in the nation. 

Although currently, the CBDC is in the testing phase, and it is expected that the CBDC will be revealed in the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics in front of the rest of the world. With the testing phase in action, the deputy governor of the Central Bank of China, Fan Yi Fei, disclosed in a statement that the 3.13 million transactions had been processed. 

As the Winter Olympics dawned upon China, the preparations for easy currency conversion had already been made. Since athletes from all over the world will join the event, the machine will prove to be quite useful. 

CBDC adoption in China

The machine was unveiled in China's International Import Expo in Shanghai and currently supports the conversion of around 17 foreign currencies. To use the machine, the users won't need to complete any banking formality, neither would they need a bank account. The only requirement is the passport, which needs to be linked with every transaction. 

The foreigners in the nation have been using the digital yuan since the month of May without any name verification. Only a phone number is required for foreigners to use the digital yuan.

According to the latest data from PBoC (People's Bank of China) Digital Currency Research Institute Mu Changchun, nearly $9.5 billion have been spent using digital yuan. 

Apart from the digital yuan, China has also been actively participating in the stablecoin industry, releasing the offshore Renminbi, or RMB, yuan-pegged stablecoin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
