Chinese ride-hailing giant Didi Chuxing (Didi) said it has entered into a strategic partnership with the People's Bank of China to speed up the research and development of the central bank's planned digital currency known as Digital Currency Electronic Payment (DCEP) via its on-demand transport platform.
"Didi's DCEP task force will design and implement pilot DCEP projects in accordance with rigorous safety, security and governance standards," Didi said in a statement on Wednesday.
