CBDC

The phrase "central bank digital currency" (CBDC) has been used to refer to various proposals involving digital currency issued by a central bank. The present concept of CBDCs was directly inspired by Bitcoin, but a CBDC is different from virtual currency and cryptocurrency, which are not issued by a state and lack the legal tender status declared by the government.
