The Proof-of-Concept platform will test will use and test multiple wholesale CBDCs in order to explore the feasibility of cheaper and faster cross-border payments.

Central banks worldwide have been building their digital currency infrastructure to push CBDCs in the market. The involvement of the BIS will help them accelerate this project further and set the pace for other monetary authorities under its purview.
