The Digital Currency Research Institute, which comes under the People's Bank of China has published a statement further hindering one's hope for adoption of<a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/crypto-tutorial/blockchain/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> blockchain</a> in almost all technology fields as it was presumed with the President's call.

China's adoption for blockchain technology made a continuous buzz within the media. The rising high power observed the blockchain as having the potential to provide the country with an edge in today's fast-changing global economy. For this, China planned to start its native bank-issued digital currency, called DCEP.
<h2>China In No Mood To Power All Payments With Blockchain</h2>
The country has embraced the blockchain technology ever since President Xi formally committed to it. However, it never became apparent how far the<a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/crypto/smart-contracts-adoption-to-hike-data-quality-gartner-research/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> adoption</a> of this technology would go. Recently, the Digital Currency Research Institute published a paper, stating that it has not intended to use blockchain for all the traditional payments. Instead, use of blockchain within the country would focus on trade financing, settlements and the property market.

Cashless options such as WeChat and AliPay already have dominated traditional payments within the country. As there was no importance for transitioning to blockchain in these areas, the country intended to bring blockchain technology for extensive dealings in the economy. These usually included areas were paperwork and difficulties often hindered performance, such as in the field of foreign currency trading.

<h2>China Has Been Favorable Towards Blockchain </h2>
Although the recent comments which emerged from the Digital Currency Research Institute have not shown a withdrawal of previous policy, they clarified the specific objectives of China's blockchain dream. It was evident that blockchain adoption would come on the institutional level—for instance, last year, some reports came about the government's blockchain-based platform for paying bills.

All these initiatives marked the country's strong position in supporting blockchain and not<a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/"> cryptocurrencies</a>. This signature policy had been mentioned several times by the census from the country, and it illustrated a severe problem to the industry all around the world. Although China leads in adoption of blockchain, perhaps someday it would realize the security of blockchain always relied on cryptocurrency.
