CBDC of the future must walk the line between state rules and crypto advantages

Broctagon CEO Don Guo has described the Bank of England’s decision to assess the potential benefits of a central bank digital currency (CBDC) as “ironic”.
“This move comes as no surprise. China has clearly lit a fire under these other nations, who are starting to recognise the inherent advantages of crypto.
“Countries who can correctly implement a CBDC will stand to benefit as they will have a currency which is totally borderless, efficient, and immutable.
“The irony of having a ‘centralised’ cryptocurrency seems to be lost on these state banks.
“The founding principal of crypto was decentralisation, so banks need to be careful that they don’t lose sight of the advantages that decentralisation can provide, otherwise there will be no real benefit of using the new currencies over fiat.
“Hopefully the CBDC of the future will be able to walk the line between state-issued currencies and the advantages of crypto.”
