Recently, Catherine accepted an exclusive interview with the US blockchain media Coindesk to talk about the development of the blockchain in 2020. Catherine had a focused discussion on China's digital currency. Interlink Pulse excerpts her main points.

• Six marketing trends for the blockchain industry in 2020
• DeFi weekly selection 丨 High ETH lock-up volume, zero mortgage DeFi for "Great Leap Forward"
• The IRS is here again! Tax assessment required for single cryptocurrency donations exceeding $ 5,000

When the Coindesk host asked about Defi in 2020, Catherine took the initiative to bring the topic to China. She said: "In 2020, the (blockchain) development space is on the other side of the world-China, I can feel it."

The reason given by Catherine is that all Chinese technology companies are developing blockchain solutions; all payment platforms can access the central bank's digital currency without any barriers. The implication is that when the central bank's digital currency comes out, it can be used immediately, and large technology companies can use the central bank's digital currency to develop blockchain business. Catherine said, "I can imagine that (in 2020, the central bank's digital currency) is the only digital currency supported by a large country. Users can use this digital currency to buy anything, not like Libra (and many limit)."

Katherine Wu went on to add that Chinese apps are integrated and can be used to do anything, buy things, order movie tickets, order transportation, etc. This also makes China's digital currency application scenarios very rich. Therefore Katherine Wu believes that China's digital currency has great potential.

Katherine Wu also observed that China's investment in blockchain is very large. She said: "China is investing a lot of resources into the research of blockchain and it is beginning to cultivate a lot of professionals." She believes that China will be this The "big player" in the field.

Finally, Katherine Wu also pointed out that China's blockchain industry is relatively decentralized and will form a game between the two camps.
