Our cooperation partner Frankfurt School Blockchain Center has published a research paper on Libra vs. Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC).
Libra vs. CBDC: Implications for European Banks
Authors: Philipp Sandner, Jonas Gross, Philipp Schulden, Lena Grale
Here are their key findings:
- Existing payment systems get more and more disrupted.
- The announcement of the Facebook-initiated Libra stablecoin is perceived as a game-changer for the financial sector.
- Central banks discuss the introduction of their own digital currencies (CBDC).
- Both, Libra and a Euro CBDC might heavily affect European banks.
- Experts fear that large-scale financial disintermediation of the financial sector could take place, and digital bank runs could be triggered.
- Libra and a CBDC Euro should not only be seen as threats but also as opportunities, as banks might have the opportunity to develop new business models.
