Digital money, from central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) to stablecoins and tokenized deposits, have promised to simplify cross-border payments, accounting and record-keeping, as well as to improve financial inclusion on a global scale. Despite these benefits, digital money projects remain in a largely experimental stage and widespread adoption remains limited. This is in part due to challenges such as cybersecurity concerns and regulatory uncertainty to technical limitations, such as a lack of interoperability.
