A recent study highlights a global surge in the exploration of digital currencies, with 134 countries, representing 98% of the global economy, now investigating central bank digital currencies (CBDC). Over half of these countries are in advanced stages of development, pilot programs, or have already launched their digital currencies. Key regions such as China, Europe, and the BRIC countries are actively advancing in this area. However, the United States is notably lagging behind in the development and implementation of a digital currency, according to the study.
