The World Economic Forum (WEF) cited XRP, the token of Ripple, as the most suitable currency for the recently developing CBDC, the central bank digital currency.

The Geneva-based international organization also clearly showed the difference between CBDCs and cryptocurrencies:

“The CBDC is a digitalized version of the sovereign currency created and published by the monetary authority of the country and its obligation. CBDC differs from other forms of digital or virtual currency, including cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and ‘stablecoin’ that are not issued by central banks or typically not accepted as legal payments.

“CBDC is a digital currency issued by the country’s monetary authority and whose obligations belong to this institution. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and fixed coins are not issued by central banks and are not accepted as legal payment instruments.
