According to the WeChat official account of the Research Institute of Financial Technology at Renmin University of China, the 2025 International Monetary Forum, hosted by Renmin University of China and Nankai University, will be held in Beijing on July 27, 2025. Nankai University President Chen Yulu delivered a speech at the opening ceremony. Chen Yulu pointed out that artificial intelligence and the digital economy are reshaping the global economic development process, and digital currency has become a core variable in the reconstruction of the international monetary system. He called for adherence to the three principles of 'value authenticity, systemic robustness, and inclusive accessibility,' to promote the coordinated development of central bank digital currencies and compliant stablecoins, and to jointly build a multilateral digital currency liquidity assistance network.
The proposed global digital currency development should adhere to three basic principles: (1) Value authenticity: to oppose and curb the speculative bubble of crypto assets that are detached from the real economy, and to support the establishment of a systematic and penetrating global cryptocurrency regulatory framework through cooperation among major countries; (2) Systemic robustness: to support digital cross-border coordinated regulation among countries, promote multilateral clearing cooperation between central bank digital currencies and licensed compliant stablecoins, jointly build a 'multilateral digital currency liquidity assistance agreement network,' strengthen regulatory technology upgrades, and resolutely resist money laundering, tax evasion, terrorist financing, and extraterritorial jurisdiction without international legal basis; (3) Inclusive accessibility: to utilize highly compatible and programmable smart contract technology to achieve widespread access and precise drip irrigation of inclusive finance globally; to upgrade the cross-border practice of the digital RMB to a global public good, relying on multilateral central bank digital currency bridges and cross-chain technology, and to jointly build a digital Silk Road and global digital currency community based on the needs of real economic and trade investment, with equal benefit for all, especially with broader trade partners in the 'Global South.'
