Christine Lagarde says 80 central banks think about CBDC
The president of the European Central Bank (ECB), Christine Lagarde, said that about 80 central banks worldwide are considering the issuance of their national digital currencies, known as CBDCs. It is 41% of all 195 countries that exist in the world today.
Lagarde also admitted that central bank digital currencies will not have such anonymity as their physical fiat equivalents.
The topic was addressed by another ECB board member earlier, claiming that the digital euro is capable of protecting user’s privacy better than privately issued stablecoins.
