中央銀行デジタル通貨(CBDC)には、主に一般利用型とホールセール型の2つの形態があります。前者は一般の消費者が使用し、後者は銀行やその他の金融機関間の取引に使用されます。21世紀のあらゆる進化と同様に、CBDCが便利で信頼でき、生活をより便利なものにしてくれることが証明されて初めて、人々はCBDCを使いたくなるでしょう。
Central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) come in retail and wholesale forms. Retail is used by the general public, wholesale is for financial institutions.
