PetroChina Joins the Digital Yuan Era Completes First International Crude Oil Trade in Historic Milestone!

PetroChina Makes Historic Digital Yuan Crude Oil Trade Report

Well, well, well, it seems like China is making moves in the digital currency game! According to China Daily, the country’s very own oil and gas giant, PetroChina, has just pulled off the first international crude oil trade using the famed central bank digital currency (CBDC), the e-CNY. Talk about bringing the heat!

Picture this: PetroChina, like a smooth operator, strutted up to the Shanghai Petroleum and Natural Gas Exchange (SHPGX) on October 18th and said, “Hey, I’ll take 1 million barrels of that sweet sweet crude oil, and I’ll pay for it in e-CNY!” And just like that, the deal was sealed and delivered. Of course, the SHPGX didn’t reveal the exact value of the transaction or spill the beans on the seller’s identity. It’s like their little secret.

But here’s the juicy part: it seems like China’s government has some grand plans for their e-CNY. They want to flex their financial muscles and expand the international use of their currency, also known as the renminbi. And what better way to do that than by settling purchases of massive global commodities, like crude oil, with their fancy digital yuan? Talk about making a statement!

Now, while other major economies may be dipping their toes into the CBDC waters, China is already doing the backstroke like a pro swimmer. They are leagues ahead in this game! Transactions using the e-CNY have already hit a whopping 1.8 trillion yuan (that’s a cool $250 billion) as of the end of June. And get this, the e-CNY makes up a solid 0.16% of the cash circulating in China. That’s no small feat, my friends!
