While legally classified as IOUs, these bills – and smaller denominations in coinage – provide citizens and non-citizens strong protection akin to property rights, enabling its bearer to settle transactions without a third-party by transferring the note. However, as the precipitous drop in velocity of the physical Cash reported by the Federal Reserve Bank of St.
What additional potential benefits, policy considerations, or risks of a CBDC may exist that have not been raised in this paper? With that clarification of the observable differences of money - a legal agreement - and currency - a system of money, we will answer the first three questions in the order posed below.a) mitigate against the pervasive loss of purchasing power,c) provide financial inclusion for citizens, and non-citizens,f) secure the global dominance of the US Dollar.As of March 2022, citizens maintain demand deposit accounts with commercial banks holding $18.
Today, digital privacy - including financial privacy - is readily available via encrypted communication, and peer-to-peer value transfer solutions. cc.

Would some of these tools diminish the potential benefits of a CBDC?This distribution of a U.S. digital bearer CBDC should be implemented analogous to the way physical Cash is being distributed today.

The United States must urgently increase its efforts to catch up to these developments, to avoid putting its own economy at a distinct disadvantage.
The question entails a false choice, assuming the intellectual integrity in reference to a CBDC's analogy to physical cash. The latter medium of exchange currently provides complete anonymity, enabling a cottage industry comprised of licensed financial service providers who profit from illicit activities. However, as with previous questions, the answer is largely dependent on the technical implementation of a CBDC.
