In case you are not yet aware of what CBDCs are, let me give you the rundown in this article. What is CBDC CBDC stands for Central Bank Digital Currency, a digital form of a country's fiat currency issued by its central bank. Unlike cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, CBDC is centralized and regulated by the government. It operates on a blockchain or distributed ledger technology, enabling secure and transparent transactions.
