CBDC

Central Bank Digital Currency — a digital form of a nation's fiat currency issued and backed by its central bank. Unlike decentralized cryptocurrencies, CBDCs are centrally controlled. Over 130 countries are exploring or piloting CBDCs, with China's digital yuan being the most advanced large-scale deployment.
