Chinese ecommerce giant JD.com Inc on Saturday announced it had become the country’s first platform to accept Beijing’s digital yuan.
The company’s finch arm JD Digits will accept Beijing’s homegrown digitals currency as payments for some products on its online mall, according to Reuters.
A post on JD Digits’ official WeChat account explained that the strategy is part of an experimental giveaway of digital yuan to citizens in Suzhou, a major city near Shanghai.
