# PBOC: e-CNY is deposit money

> A report delivered by PBOC Governor Pan Gongsheng to China’s National People’s Congress Standing Committee says the digital yuan has shifted from a cash-like design to deposit money. It also records approval for Visa to prepare a bank-card clearing institution, a live China–UAE cross-border payment link, and stronger oversight of real-world asset tokenisation.
