Blockchain for Central Banks | Test and Launch CBDCs

Why Central Banks Are Embracing Blockchain Technology

More than 100 countries are currently building or testing CDBCs. Projects aim to prove that central bank-issued currencies can facilitate digital payments, promote financial inclusion, and power a more digitized economy.

The Bank of International Settlements has said CBDCs offer advantages for central banks as they make it possible to settle cross-border payments faster and help underbanked populations enter global markets.

Efficiency

Streamlined payment systems and automated processes reduce costs and transaction times, benefiting both central banks and financial institutions.

Enhanced Security

Blockchain ensures tamper-proof transaction records, reducing fraud and enhancing data integrity.

Interoperability

Interoperable systems allow the secure sharing of information and the inclusion of countries and people previously left out of the global economy.

Transparency

Transparent ledger technology enhances regulatory oversight and public trust by providing real-time transaction visibility.
