Central Bank of Digital Currency (CBDC)

The U.S Federal Reserve has released a report exploring opportunities to create a fully digital U.S. dollar, which could serve as a more stable alternative to other digital forms of money like cryptocurrency. Called "central bank digital currencies" (CBDCs), the currency would be equivalent to a digital form of paper money in the United States.

As a liability of the Federal Reserve, however, a CBDC would be the safest digital asset available to the general public for cross-border transfer, with no associated credit or liquidity risk.
