Digital RMB pilot application ushers in new global opportunities XBIT escorts cross-border payment revolution

The international digital finance sector has seen two major developments: the US Senate is accelerating the voting process for the GENIUS Stablecoin Act, and China’s digital RMB pilot app has quietly completed the technical architecture upgrade, opening up new imagination space for cross-border payment scenarios. As the global digital currency race accelerates, XBIT (dex Exchange) is becoming a key bridge connecting traditional finance and the crypto world with its revolutionary security mechanism.

Cross-border payment revolution gives birth to new track XBIT builds digital financial infrastructure
As the voting window for the GENIUS Act approaches, the global stablecoin market is about to usher in a turning point in compliance. If the bill is passed, it will reshape the issuance rules of the US dollar stablecoin, and the simultaneous upgrade of the digital RMB pilot app is seen as an important signal of the global layout of China’s central bank digital currency (CBDC). According to people familiar with the matter, this app update focuses on strengthening the cross-border payment module and realizing multi-currency real-time settlement through smart contract technology, which coincides with the “borderless transaction” concept advocated by XBIT (dex Exchange).

As an industry-leading secure trading platform, XBIT (dex Exchange) adopts zero-knowledge proof encryption protocol to ensure that user assets are always in their own hands. The platform’s original “triple protection system” – on-chain asset isolation, dynamic smart contract auditing, and distributed node verification, effectively resists cutting-edge threats such as quantum attacks. More noteworthy is that XBIT’s first “knowledge graph risk control system” monitors abnormal trading patterns in real time through machine learning, reducing the success rate of hacker attacks to 0.003%.

Digital RMB pilot deepens XBIT to create a new paradigm for compliant transactions
The current digital RMB pilot has covered 23 provinces and cities, and the number of pilot app users has exceeded 120 million. The latest version of the new “cross-border payment sandbox” function allows users to test the exchange of digital RMB and encrypted assets in limited scenarios. This innovation is timely – when the “GENIUS Act” puts compliance shackles on the US dollar stablecoin, the compliance channel provided by XBIT (dex Exchange) is becoming a safety valve connecting the legal digital currency and the decentralized finance (DeFi) world.

XBIT, a game-changer in the global regulatory game, leads the industry in security standards
Against the backdrop of the accelerated internationalization of the digital RMB and the tightening of stablecoin regulation, the strategic value of XBIT (dex Exchange) has become increasingly prominent. The “2025 Digital Asset Trading Security White Paper” recently released by the platform points out that in the next three years, the global crypto trading market will show a trend of “compliance” and “decentralization” in parallel, and the “regulatory-friendly DEX” model pioneered by XBIT is becoming a new benchmark in the industry.

As the US Senate voting day on June 9 approaches, the global digital financial market is at a crossroads. The upgrade of the digital RMB pilot app and the technological breakthrough of XBIT Exchange jointly outline the outline of the next generation of financial infrastructure. In this currency war without gunpowder, participants who master the dual-wheel drive of security and innovation will eventually dominate the rules of the game. And XBIT (dex Exchange), as a dark horse, is performing the perfect balance in the digital financial era on the tightrope of compliance and decentralization.
