CBDC are digital currencies regulated and issued by a country's central bank. Therefore, CBDC are also everyday fiat currencies in digital form. Some CBDC run on blockchains, while others run on other networks. Some countries have launched CBDC, such as the Bahamas (Sand Dollar), Nigeria (eNaira), Jamaica (JAM-DEX), and others.
At first glance, CBDC resemble stablecoins, which are pegged to cash. However, most experts believe CBDC are not a type of cryptocurrency.
However, upon closer examination, many differences between CBDC and stablecoins emerge. CBDC use private blockchains, making them accessible only to the central bank and linked to a person's bank account. Stablecoins, on the other hand, use public ledgers, or blockchains, accessible to anyone. However, as far as I know, many CBDCs are not recognized as a means of transaction globally.
