The UK is closer to launching Britcoin after the Project Rosalind trial study between BIS_org and the bankofengland revealed the retail sector could benefit from a CBDC.
The Bank of England is a step closer to launching its central bank digital currency dubbed “Britcoin” following the conclusion of a trial study called Project Rosalind.
The Bank for International Settlements along with the BoE launched the joint experiment in July 2022 to explore how prototypes of an application programming interface could be implemented in retail CBDC transactions.which summed up phase two of Project Rosalind found a CBDC could make payments between individuals cheaper and more efficient while allowing firms to create new financial products that work to reduce fraudulent financial activity.
Overall, the study developed 33 API functionalities and explored “more than 30 retail CBDC use cases.”In addition to looking at how a CBDC would function on smartphones, retail vendors and online stores, the study also explored the concept of “programmability” — a term that refers to customizing digital money to behave in specific ways once certain conditions are met., as critics claim a CBDC could be programmed to “work against” those who use it.
Overall, the study concluded a “well-designed” API layer could enable a central bank to interact with the private sector to “safely provide” retail CBDC payments.
