Description

Part 1. The connections among CBDC, Digital Assets and Metaverse

Under the new normal and the threat of trade war and pandemic, some countries like El Salvador legalised Bitcoin to take part in the digital transformation while China banned crypto completely to strengthen the effectiveness of the upcoming massive country-wide eCNY introductory project. If the initiative of Metaverse is adopted by many corporates, how shall we future-proof our digital transformation processes? If Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) is becoming mainstream, what will be the future of Bitcoin, stablecoins, digital assets and NFTs?
