[Experts suggest that the “Regulations of Shanghai Municipality on Promoting the Construction of an International Financial Center” should be revised to focus on digital currencies]
The “Regulations of Shanghai Municipality on Promoting the Construction of an International Financial Center” were first issued in 2009. At present, experts and scholars are discussing the new legal requirements and new countermeasures in the process of the new construction of Shanghai International Financial Center, and put forward suggestions for amendments to the “Regulations.” Become a topic of concern in this revision of the Regulations. Li Jianwei, an expert from the Law Institute of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, said that digital currency has the efficiency value of economy and convenience, and its security should be guaranteed. Digital currency must be legal tender and must be incorporated into legal regulations as soon as possible. If the so-called digital currency is arbitrarily drafted, it will inevitably cause disorder in the currency and financial fields, cause huge losses, and bring negative effects to social and economic development.

【欧央行计划在四方面进行数字欧元的准备性试验】
欧央行执委法比奥·帕内塔表示，欧央行还准备推出数字欧元，希望兼具数字支付手段的效率与央行的安全性。值得注意的是，数字欧元仅作为支付手段，而非投资形式。因此，欧央行会限制个人持有数字欧元的金额。数字欧元还可能加强欧央行其他政策的效果，例如，推动电子数据、电子身份、电子签名等数字化的信息交换。欧央行计划在四方面进行数字欧元的准备性试验：(1)测试数字欧元与当前银行清算系统的可兼容性；(2)探究去中心化技术的内在联系；(3)研究电子身份在支付类区块链中使用；(4)评估硬件设备，也确保脱机交易和隐私保护的安全。
【数字人民币“双离线”功能将在苏州红包试点中首次曝光】
与深圳市罗湖区红包试点相比，苏州红包试点在单个红包金额、申请领取路径等与深圳保持相似外，也有三项重要突破：包括参与银行从4家扩围到6家，“双离线”功能将首次上线，消费场景从线下商户扩展到线上电商。数字人民币备受市场瞩目的“双离线”功能将在苏州红包试点中首次曝光。据记者了解，苏州市政府将会同运营机构从报名参加离线钱包体验计划的人员中选择部分人员作为离线钱包体验人员，体验人员人数控制在1000人之内。此前有数字人民币权威人士在内部场合透露，不同于移动支付，数字人民币可以理解为物权体系，不涉及信息流和资金流的不同步等问题，因此可以支撑在飞机、地下室等特殊场景使用双离线的付款功能。而未来，能成为唯一身份标识的东西都可以成为账户体系，比如车牌，甚至水电煤表、电动车，终端会进一步延展，手机不再是唯一支付中心。本次红包试点除线下商户外，线上电商也首次参与。京东数科方面透露，在此次试点中提供了技术和相关场景。包括线上商城和京东旗下五星电器、京东之家、京东便利店等线下场景。其中，线上商城下单支持线上支付和货到付款。此外，华为、vivo等手机厂商亦参加到本次红包试点中。
