Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC) are gaining traction across the world. Fast-growing economies have been keen on the emergence of financial technology with blockchain at the forefront. As a result, different governments are in competition to test and launch CBDCs. While there has been growing criticism that some will abuse the power that comes with this by invading users privacy, the positives definitely outway the negatives. For starters, it will reduce the cost of issuing a national means of payment as well as make it more sustainable and environmentally friendly. Additionally, improve access to the new means and heighten security.
Countries including Russia, China, France, and Brazil are already testing CBDCs. Different Central Banks are in different stages of their testing with China seemingly at the forefront.
Aiming to capitalize on the newly found interest among Central banks is Mastercard. The financial service provider has recently launched a test kit that will allow Central banks to test CBDCs. The corporation is launching a virtual environment that will simulate the real economy, allowing for the issuance, distribution, and trade of CBDCs from the Central bank, commercial banks, and into the economy to be used to buy goods and services.
With the entry of private companies, the process leading to the launch of CBDCs could be hastened with proficiency taking a lead. Additionally, as Mastercard was quick to note, it will allow for further exploration of other opportunities and compatibles for CBDCs such as credit cards.
As governments and big corps begin to venture into the new possibility; that is bridging crypto and fiat, already Gibraltar based company Tap Global is in the space and well ahead.
