Many nations are embracing central bank digital currency (CBDC) because it seems to be a better currency compared to the physical or online fiat. Some nations are even engaging in international trade using CBDCs because it need no intermediary to facilitate these international transactions. Using CBDC is cheaper, and faster than fiat currency, this is why many nations are embracing this blockchain technology.
