Digital Currency News - News about CBDCs

The subject of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) has moved from ‘vague awareness’ in around 2016 to ‘big news’ today.

First Facebook’s Diem (launched as Libra but renamed) and then China’s e-yuan catapulted CBDCs from being a niche subject of interest to economists, central bankers and a narrow technical community to being mainstream. Speeches, papers, webinars and conferences have followed in large numbers.

To help people keep up, the publishers of Cash & Payment News™ (CPN) have decided to start publishing a weekly newsletter dedicated to CBDCs. To be known as ‘Digital Currency News™’ (DCN), it will exist in digital form accessed from the CPN website –Cash & Payment News (cashpaymentnews.com). It is freely available, no firewall or subscription required, both as a resource to visit and a place to sign up for the weekly newsletter.
