This paper introduces cryptocurrency into a two-country open-economy model. Based on the theoretical model, we employ the TVP-VAR model to study the dynamic interdependence among interest rate spread (a proxy in the monetary market), exchange rate (a proxy in the forex market), and Bitcoin transactions (a proxy in the cryptocurrency market). The key finding is that Bitcoin has an effect of de-fiatization in the global financial market. When there is a higher divergence in monetary policy between the US and China, Bitcoin attracts greater attention with a higher price, posing a competing force against USD. When there are greater fluctuations in the exchange rate of USD/CNY, Bitcoin diverts investors from CNY. The fiat currencies of the two largest economies are both losers while Bitcoin gains. Therefore, cryptocurrency not only decentralizes the role of commercial banks as a medium of payment, but also decentralizes the role of central banks as a monetary policymaker. In face of this challenge, it is suggested that central banks should embrace blockchain technology and develop their own digital currency to restore the trust lost in the global financial crisis. International collaborations in terms of regulation are necessary given its borderless and authority-less feature.

The internationalization of the Renminbi (RMB) has become a practical reality in global financial markets and economic dynamics. Understanding the mechanism of currency flowback, the movement of the RMB back to China’s domestic financial system after being utilized abroad, is crucial in comprehending the evolving landscape of global finance and China’s position within it. This article investigates the relationship between currency flowback and RMB internationalization through theoretical frameworks, empirical evidence, and model simulations. The opening of bond markets plays a pivotal role in facilitating currency flowback and promoting RMB internationalization by attracting foreign investors and increasing the liquidity of domestic bond markets. A Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) model incorporating bond market opening-up illustrates the potential for improved financial stability and economic resilience. However, the conclusions drawn from simulations are contingent on maintaining a moderate foreign holding ratio of domestic bonds to mitigate risks associated with excessive foreign ownership.

This paper explores the challenges in the internationalization of local currencies and the establishment of a robust International Currency Circulation (ICC) mechanism. Employing an innovative Agent-Based Model (ABM) grounded in Behavioral Finance, our research examines the interdependence between currency circulation and inter-bank treasury bond market. Through simulations, we analyze the impacts of monetary policies, increased overseas holdings, and investor sentiments on treasury bond prices and market activities. Our findings underscore the pivotal role of a robust monetary policy, the strategic optimization of market structures through overseas institutions, and the non-linear relationship between investor sentiment and treasury bond prices. This study contributes valuable insights for policymakers, investors, and academics, emphasizing measures to enhance market efficiency and stability in the realm of international currency circulation.
