Banque de France steps up wholesale CBDC work
The bank has built its own DLT technology as well as an automated market maker platform inspired from the DeFi markets, which could serve as the basis of a multi-CBDC platform where different central banks come together to enable fast, automated and transparent settlement across currencies.Now, new experiments are under way, says François Villeroy de Galhau, governor of the Banque de France: "We want to get closer to a viable prototype, testing it in practice with more private actors and more foreign central banks in the second half of 2022 and in 2023. "This work ensures that we stand ready to bring central bank money as a settlement asset as early as 2023, with the implementation of the European pilot regime.
