List of Important Resources on Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC)

Blockchain has the potential to change the whole monetary and financial industry. But it still has a long way to go, as currently, the money issuance power still rests in hands of sovereign central banks. The compromised way of welcoming blockchain technology in the monetary and financial industry is the development of the central bank issued digital currency - CBDC. 

 

For CBDC, the money issuance power is still controlled by the central bank. But it uses a new form of currency - cryptocurrency. It also needs a new blockchain system for money movement. The combination of new blockchain-based financial systems and traditional financial systems will soon be a reality in the form of these centrally backed stablecoins.
