Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

A report by the Bank of Japan indicates that to be prepared in case of the great need for a CBDC, the bank will launch a feasibility study.

Japan is set to launch a study into the feasibility of a digital currency (CBDC) for use in both the private and public sector similar to Facebook‘s Diem. This move emulates China and a few other countries who have done the same recently.

Digital currency, issued by central banks and called Central Bank Digital Currency enables users to make cashless payments. CBDC payments can be made using smartphones and electronic cards.

They make payments and sending money quickly and easily. An advantage over other payment methods is that payments are commission-free for retailers.
