🏦 #CBDCs101: What are Central Bank Digital Currencies?

The central banks of various countries are testing and launching the so-called CBDCs — digital currencies issued and guaranteed by the government.

📌 What are CBDCs?

🔹 Digital versions of a country's official currency (dollar, euro, real, etc.)

🔹 Issued by central banks, with legal tender, 100% backed by physical cash

🔹 Objective: modernize the financial system, increase efficiency and security

💡 Why does this matter?

🔸 Faster, more transparent, and secure transactions

🔸 Possible simplification in international remittances

🔸 Monitoring against money laundering

🔸 Expanded financial access (banking inclusion)

⚠️ What may generate controversy:

❌ Privacy concerns: you and the government would not be as anonymous

❌ Risks of surveillance or monetary control of individuals

❌ Technology still in development and regulatory uncertainties

📲 Many projects are in pilot phase:

🔸 China (e-CNY already in testing)

🔸 EU (digital euro under discussion)

🔸 Brazil (digital real under study)

🔸 USA, Canada, Japan, and others — all looking towards the digital future

➡️ CBDCs could transform the way we use money — but they also raise debates about privacy, control, and freedom.
