尽管像美国和亚洲其他国家一样，仍在考虑发行CBDC，但吉尔吉斯斯坦已经迈出了明确的一步。

While major countries like the U.S. and those in Asia are still contemplating the issuance of CBDC, Kyrgyzstan has taken a clear step forward. The country has approved a pilot project for its own digital money, which will be called the digital som and is a new version of the national currency. This new currency will be treated as legal tender if the CB goes ahead with issuing a CBDC.

尽管像美国和亚洲的主要国家仍在考虑发行CBDC，但吉尔吉斯斯坦已经迈出了明确的一步。该国已批准了一个试点项目以自己的数字货币，该项目将被称为数字SOM，并且是国家货币的新版本。如果CB继续发行CBDC，则将这种新货币视为法定货币。

Why is Kyrgyzstan Opting For CBDC?

吉尔吉斯斯坦为什么选择CBDC？

Kyrgyzstan is looking to modernize its financial system and make digital payments easier and safer. Earlier this month, former Binance CEO CZ said he would help Kyrgyzstan build strong crypto rules, which the government hopes will boost businesses and improve cybersecurity.

吉尔吉斯斯坦（Kyrgyzstan）希望现代化其金融系统，并使数字支付更加轻松，更安全。本月早些时候，前Binance首席执行官CZ表示，他将帮助吉尔吉斯斯坦制定强大的加密规则，政府希望这将促进业务并改善网络安全。

Kyrgyzstan is also a great location for crypto mining due to its abundant clean hydro energy. Although only 10% of its hydro power is currently utilized, over 30% of the country’s energy already comes from water sources.
