Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) are state‑issued digital cash promising instant settlement, monetary policy tools, and regulatory certainty. Cryptocurrencies offer decentralization, censorship resistance, and innovation ecosystems. The clash isn’t binary: CBDCs could fill niche roles—borderless payments—while cryptos drive innovation. The future isn’t one or the other; it’s a layered monetary fabric where each serves different needs.
