Earlier this year, a report was published by the Federal Reserve of the United States that provided a detailed analysis of the benefits and drawbacks of CBDCs.

Kazakhstan, Japan, Indonesia and India are some of the other countries aiming toward the adoption of digital currencies backed by their central banks.
