BEIJING - Transactions of China's digital fiat currency, the e-CNY, hit 83 billion yuan ($12.33 billion) by the end of May this year, the country's central bank said Wednesday.

A total of 264 million digital yuan transactions were undertaken during the period, Zou Lan, an official from the People's Bank of China, said at a press conference.
