CBDC Round-Up

SICPA Partners in the CBDC Arena

SICPA has entered into a strategic partnership with the INX Digital Company (INX) with the aim of helping governments develop innovative and sovereign Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) ecosystems.

INX is a broker-dealer and inter-dealer broker. It has created the first Security Exchange Commission (SEC) regulated digital asset trading platform for cryptocurrencies and security tokens.

The Swiss-based joint venture brings together blockchain based infrastructure and digital cash technologies in order to offer central banks the key ingredients needed for a CBDC, whether wholesale or retail.

SICPA’s digital team will work with INX’s CBDC and blockchain technologists to solve key problems around compliance, scalability, programmability and cross- border transactions.
