Nic Carter questions distinction between CBDCs and Fed reserve balances

Nic Carter, a well-known figure in the finance sector, raises questions about the definition of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs).
According to Carter, current descriptions of CBDCs resemble the bank reserve balances held at the Federal Reserve. He emphasizes the lack of a distinct definition that separates CBDCs from traditional financial instruments managed by central banks. His comments prompt further exploration into how these digital currencies can be clearly categorized without overlapping with existing monetary systems.
