Deutsche Bank: CBDCs May Challenge Dollar Hegemony
Geopolitical tensions, the COVID-19 pandemic, private stablecoin projects like Libra — all these create ideal conditions for the development of central bank digital currencies (CBDC).
The global financial system is on the verge of exponential change, according to a report by Germany’s largest bank, Deutsche Bank. For example, China began testing CBDCs in four major cities just 11 years after Bitcoin was created.
The digital yuan could challenge the dollar’s global leadership, said Gerith Heinz, chief investment strategist at Deutsche Bank.
“The e-RMB and the Belt and Road Initiative would give China a chance to increase the importance of that currency overall. That could also imply some changes in the global reserve system. CBDC has the potential to challenge the primacy of the U.S. dollar, ” Heinz points out.
