According to reports from Jinshi Data, Bank of England officials are considering postponing the digital pound project due to growing concerns about the project's benefits. This reflects a decline in global enthusiasm for government-backed digital currencies. Sources say that the Bank of England has privately urged the banking sector to accelerate payment innovations, aiming to achieve similar benefits without launching a central bank digital currency. The Bank of England stated that it still hopes to retain the ability to launch a CBDC if necessary, but if the private sector continues to introduce new electronic payment technologies and the benefits of a digital pound decrease, the central bank is willing to step back.
