Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) could pose a significant threat to traditional banking systems, potentially rendering them obsolete.​ As governments explore the possibility of becoming direct lenders through CBDCs, the role of commercial banks may diminish.​

Key points:

  • CBDCs could bypass traditional banking infrastructure
  • Governments may become direct lenders to citizens
  • Commercial banks risk becoming obsolete

This development follows earlier concerns about the risks of keeping money in banks, including fund seizure and withdrawal restrictions.​

While CBDCs could offer economic benefits, their implementation may reshape the financial landscape, particularly impacting the commercial banking sector.​
