A central bank digital currency (CBDC) is a type of digital currency issued by a country's central bank. It is similar to cryptocurrencies, but the central bank determines its value, and it is equivalent to a country's fiat currency.
There are two main types of CBDCs:
🎯 Retail CBDC: This would be available for everyone to use, just like cash. You could have a digital wallet to store it and use it to pay for things in stores or send money to friends.
🎯 Wholesale CBDC: This would be for banks and other financial institutions to use for things like settling transactions between each other.
BDCs are still a relatively new concept, and many countries are still exploring their potential. It's likely to be a while before they become widely used.
