Global CBDC Development Faces Challenges After US Ban

Retail vs. Wholesale CBDCs

Central bank digital currencies are known as a version of the transition process with financial systems, issued by central banks for improving transaction efficiency. Retail CBDCs are designed for public use; thus, it is supposed that they can be used digitally for making payments between individuals and businesses. Wholesale CBDCs are interbank transactions and securities settlements to increase the security of transactions, particularly in financial institutions.

According to experts, retail CBDCs are promising in inclusivity but pose enormous technical and logistical challenges. Red Date Technology founder Yifan He predicts that a fully functional retail CBDC is at least a decade away because the technical barriers have yet to be resolved.

US Ban and Ripple Effects

On Jan. 23, former US President Donald Trump signed an executive order banning the establishment and use of CBDCs in the United States. While the crypto community has celebrated this move, its implications spill into global CBDC development. Witnesses foresee that this prohibition will slow down any retail CBDCs in the United States for at least four years. The best this move will do is make other nations push their CBDCs faster in search of financial alternatives to US-domination systems.

Wholesale CBDCs: An Initiative for Financial Independence

This is unlikely to prevent wholesale CBDC development because it is on this growing desire among nations to reduce reliance on the US dollar and US-dominated financial systems that the appeal of these CBDCs rests. Even EU Blockchain Observatory’s Lambis Dionysopoulos opined that wholesale CBDCs bring much-needed independence in financial activities. Russia and the EU alike have talked about how it made them vulnerable to US-dominated systems, with ECB President Christine Lagarde advocating for a digital euro for European sovereignty.

Global CBDC Efforts Continue

While the US puts a ban, most countries keep going with their plans for CBDCs. China, Israel, and Australia are pushing forward their projects to upgrade payment systems and strengthen monetary sovereignty. The EU views CBDCs as an opportunity to bridge centralized and decentralized financial systems, building strategic autonomy in payments and infrastructure.

While retail CBDCs are subject to long-term challenges, wholesale CBDCs are likely to become the practical means to achieve cross-border financial independence. The global interest in CBDCs will likely intensify amid rising geopolitical tensions, thereby redrawing the future of digital finance.
