For those not familiar, PetroChina isn’t just any company; it’s one of the biggest oil and gas companies in the world. With roots dating back decades, it’s a key player in China’s energy landscape, supplying millions with the energy they need daily. Recently, this energy titan made a groundbreaking move. Instead of using traditional means, PetroChina purchased a massive 1 million barrels of crude oil using the Digital Yuan, China’s very own digital currency.
This wasn’t a small, experimental purchase; it was a major deal, showing the world just how serious China is about integrating digital currencies into real-world trade.This historic trade unfolded at the Shanghai Petroleum and Natural Gas Exchange, a significant marketplace in China where businesses come to buy and sell oil and gas.
And while we’re all curious about the finer details of this deal, such as the exact amount of money exchanged or who the other party in the deal was, one thing is clear. With giants like PetroChina leading the way, the fusion of digital currencies and global trade is only set to grow.

China has been quite vocal about its ambition to boost the global reach of its currency, the renminbi. Think of it as wanting their currency to have a bigger role on the world stage, much like the U.S. dollar or the Euro.
By getting big companies like PetroChina to use the Digital Yuan for major trades, especially in globally important markets like oil, they’re making a strong statement. For some context on the Digital Yuan’s current standing: by the end of June, its trading volume had hit 1.8 trillion yuan. That is equivalent to $250 billion.
This figure represents a notable 0.16% of the total cash circulating, as per data shared earlier this year. This progression in the digital currency world is surely one to watch.China’s CBDC stands out as a front-runner. While many key global players are delving into the realm of central bank digital currencies, China is leading in tangible implementation.
As an update, the former head of the People’s Bank of China recently shared that the Digital Yuan’s transactions had clocked in at a whopping 950 million by July 2023. What’s more, China has gone a step further by infusing smart-contract capabilities into its CBDC, thereby amplifying its usability.
These rising transaction numbers, coupled with its evolving features, show that the Digital Yuan is primed for more expansive uses. Although its main use case has traditionally been within China’s borders, its potential for international trade is gaining momentum.
With all of these developments, there’s a potential ripple effect on the U.S. dollar. As CBDCs gain traction in global trade, we could observe a diminished demand for dollars, possibly leading to their depreciation against other currencies.
The recent PetroChina transaction emphasizes the mounting competition the dollar faces.
While China has made strides with its Digital Yuan, other economic powerhouses, including the US and EU, are not far behind in exploring CBDCs.
If more countries roll out their digital currencies, the dollar could face stiffer rivalry in international transactions. The US has long enjoyed significant economic and political leverage, courtesy of the dollar’s esteemed position as the world’s reserve currency.
But, if CBDCs begin to take center stage in international trade, the US might witness a dip in its influential status.However, it’s crucial to contextualize that the PetroChina deal is a singular, albeit notable, event in the unfolding CBDC narrative.

Predicting if CBDCs will eventually overshadow the dollar as the global reserve currency might be premature. Yet, this development undeniably warrants the attention of major economies.
Additionally, considering the broader picture, CBDCs could usher in a new age. CBDCs could trim down international trade costs since they can be settled directly, eliminating the need for intermediaries like banks.
CBDCs, being digital and designed for instant transactions, can streamline this process. They allow for direct peer-to-peer settlements, which can expedite trades and reduce multiple layers of costs.
Furthermore, CBDCs can diminish the need for currency conversion and associated fees, especially if two trading countries use their respective CBDCs in mutual agreements.
With CBDC transactions registered on an immutable blockchain, transparency in global trade could see a substantial boost.
