Digital Renminbi (RMB) is the digital version of China's currency, the Renminbi. It is issued and backed by the People's Bank of China, the country's central bank. Digital RMB is being piloted in a number of cities in China, with the aim of increasing the efficiency and convenience of financial transactions.

Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that uses cryptography for security and is not backed by any central authority such as a central bank. It was created in 2009 by an unknown individual or group of individuals under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. Bitcoin is based on a decentralized ledger technology called the blockchain, which allows it to be transferred and verified without the need for a central authority.
