In early February 2026, Hunan Province's digital RMB pilot program delivered a remarkable milestone. According to a report by Hunan Daily on February 4, by the end of 2025, the total transaction amount of digital RMB in the province had exceeded 56.7 billion yuan, supporting over 600,000 merchants.
