  CBDCs, unlike traditional cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, are issued and regulated by central banks. They are backed by the full faith and credit of the government, making them more stable and less volatile compared to decentralized cryptocurrencies. CBDCs also offer greater control and oversight for governments and central banks in terms of monetary policy and financial stability.

  When it comes to CBDCs, think of them as digital versions of traditional fiat currencies, like the US dollar or the Euro. They are designed to be used as a medium of exchange, just like physical cash or digital payment systems. In contrast, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are decentralized and operate on a peer-to-peer network, without the need for intermediaries like banks or governments.
