TREE NEWS update: China’s Digital RMB International Operation Center said 39 more domestic and overseas financial institutions applied to join CBETS, its cross-border settlement platform, as direct participants as of the end of September, following the first batch of 26 signatories. The center said it has been upgrading CBETS through this year, supporting bilateral links with foreign central bank payment systems and CBDC systems as well as direct access by overseas institutions. The platform covers both trade settlement and cross-border personal travel.

AI take
The steady expansion of direct participants suggests CBETS is moving from pilot to infrastructure, with the bilateral central bank links being the more consequential layer — that is where interoperability standards get set. The inclusion of overseas institutions as direct participants matters for correspondent banking relationships that have historically routed through Western systems. Whether the platform's coverage of both trade and personal travel translates into actual settlement volume, rather than just onboarding, is the open question to watch.
