According to BlockBeats, on October 9, Tencent News (First Line) reported that the Digital Currency Research Institute of the People's Bank of China has refuted the rumor that "the central bank's digital RMB platform will issue digital asset dividends". Relevant people emphasized that the institute has never released such information, nor has it organized activities such as registration or subscription of "digital assets" and issuance of "digital asset dividends". Previously, criminals used the name of the institute to release false information involving "joint approval by the Ministry of Finance and the National Data Bureau" and "opening the second batch of asset registration and review". The official reminded the public to be vigilant and guard against fraud, and reiterated that the official download channels of the digital RMB App are limited to major application markets and official websites.
