英国央行牵头的数字英镑实验室已进入第二阶段,开始测试公共稳定币与潜在数字英镑能否在同一笔贸易融资支付中协同运作。此次测试不涉及真实客户和真实资金,结果将用于英国央行与财政部后续评估数字货币体系的设计方向。

测试聚焦跨境贸易融资

这轮实验把重点放在中小企业跨境贸易融资。按照设想,出口商可先通过稳定币获得预付款,英国进口商再以数字英镑完成最终结算。英国方面希望借此缩短贸易融资中的人工核验、对账和到账时间。

参与方表示,传统跨境贸易融资流程仍较分散,验证和结算往往需要数天。对中小企业而言,货物发出到收到货款之间的时间差,会直接占用营运资金。

Polygon 提供稳定币结算设施

Polygon 表示,将通过其 Open Money Stack 提供稳定币结算基础设施,覆盖法币与稳定币转换、钱包以及智能合约等环节。英国金融科技公司 NOBO 也继续参与项目,负责与数字贸易融资相关的基础设施测试。

在第一阶段中,NOBO 已参与演示与贸易融资流程相关的企业间条件托管支付。第二阶段还将测试以电子提单为支持的发票保理场景,进一步观察不同数字货币在同一流程中的衔接方式。

  • 出口商可通过稳定币先获得融资预付
  • 进口商以数字英镑完成最终付款
  • 测试同时涉及中小企业可携带的信用身份

结果将供英国央行与财政部评估

英国央行自 2024 年起持续研究央行数字货币及其底层分布式账本技术。此次实验被视为数字英镑项目的新一阶段,但官方同时强调,这并不意味着英国已决定发行数字英镑。

项目组称,测试结果将纳入英国央行与财政部今年稍后对数字英镑的联合评估。更大的问题在于,未来公共稳定币与央行货币能否互联互通,而不是让企业和用户被迫使用单一支付基础设施。
