About the E-Yuan

The e-yuan, also called the Digital Currency Electronic Payment, was developed by China’s central bank starting in 2014. It has been piloted and tested in cities and regions across China.

The country aims to use the yuan and e-yuan more widely in international trade and finance. This transaction is a step toward that goal.

SHPGX’s Global Ambitions

Besides expanding domestic business, the SHPGX is exploring international oil and gas trading. This provides a fast, stable channel for global energy resources to enter China.

The exchange continues to pioneer yuan settlement of cross-border natural gas trades. This crude oil deal in e-yuan is its latest milestone.

SHPGX Overview

The SHPGX, founded in 2016, is registered in the Shanghai Free Trade Zone. Xinhua News Agency owns the largest stake, and energy giants PetroChina, Sinopec, and CNOOC are also major investors.

In 2021, the exchange traded over 928 billion cubic meters of natural gas. It aims to become a global energy trading hub settled in yuan.
