CBDC's Are Live in 11 Countries

CBDCs were supposed to change how people use money.But the funny thing is, in many places, people signed up… and then barely used them.Not because digital money is a bad idea.But because people don’t switch just because something is new.They switch when it is easier.When it is trusted.When it solves a real problem better than what they already use.From Nigeria’s eNaira to Jamaica’s Jam-Dex and the Bahamas’ Sand Dollar, the lesson is becoming clear:Launching digital money is not the same as making people use it.In this week’s StayWired, we break down why CBDCs are live in 11 countries, but still struggling with adoption.
