WeChat Pay offers over 800M active users to central bank
As per a local news article, Tencent announced on Jan. 6, 2021, that it will start taking digital yuan payments through its mobile wallet WeChat Pay. Since 2014, China has been working on a digital yuan, but it has yet to be adopted statewide. It will gain a big boost if citizens start transactions for goods and services with WeChat, which has over 1 billion active users.WeChat has been called a "mega-app" due to its massive user base and the plethora of wrapped offerings. WeChat Pay allows users to chat, pay bills, and purchase food and transportation. WeChat Pay has more than 800 million monthly active users.
"Chinese consumers are so locked in WeChat Pay and Alipay; it's not realistic to convince them to switch to a new mobile payment app," Linghao Bao, an analyst at consultancy firm Trivium China, told CNBC. As a result, it makes perfect sense for the People's Bank of China to collaborate with WeChat Pay and Alipay rather than doing it alone.
China gearing up to launch CBDC
As per our previous report, the central bank of China unveiled a pilot version of a digital yuan wallet software for iOS and Android users earlier this week. China has taken a big lead in the development of CBDC for public usage, outpacing the majority of nations that are still in the research and development stages.Currently, more than 100 countries throughout the world are working on bringing their own national CBDC in some form. Russia, Japan, India, and South Korea are planning to start pilot projects for CBDC trials in 2022, but the United States has yet to formalize any realistic CBDC plans. This year, France and Switzerland held their first cross-border trials, with many more set to follow soon.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
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.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
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.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
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.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
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.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
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.
How often is content updated?
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.
