The value of any CBDC is pegged to paper money and like the name suggests they are centralized and government-controlled digital tokens - not to be confused with decentralized cryptocurrencies.

But they are increasingly popular among those in political and financial power in many places around the world, and it is this group of people that is carefully observing what degree of progress is made in the push to introduce CBDCs.
