Abstract: Taking CNKI and CSSCI as data sources, CiteSpace5.6.R5 visualization software is used to make information visualization analysis on the collected literature of digital currency research in China. Through the correlation map analysis such as keyword clustering analysis and co-cited literature analysis, etc., and the interpretation of literature content, the research hotspots in the field of digital currency in China is analyzed, and the evolution path of the research topics of digital currency in China is sorted out. The results show that, after 2015, the number of research literature in the field of digital currency in China shows a rapid growth, and the research content is highly related to the phased policies of the People’s Bank of China with the obvious policy orientation; “virtual property” “virtual currency” “Bitcoin” and “decentralization” are the current research hotspots in the field of digital currency in China, while “regulatory sandbox” “blockchain” “smart contract” and “legal digital currency” are the future research hotspots in the field of digital currency in China.
