Abstract

ABSTRACT Several policymakers and academic works have been discussing the nature of Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) as well as its debated relationship with crypto-assets. CBDC would allow the private (non-financial) sector to access the central bank’s reserves. Given its superior hierarchy in the money spectrum, CBDC adoption could trigger a strong or mild conversion from deposits, depending on its design, with strong impacts on the assets and liabilities composition and magnitude of different actors. The aim of this paper is to study the dynamics related to the transmigration process from deposits to CBDC as well as the process of money creation through a detailed step-by-step analysis, tracking the transactions between the institutions involved in its adoption. It underlines the validity of the endogenous money theory (EMT) in describing those transactions while clarifying the maintenance of the commercial banks’ vital role in the process of money creation, in a world with the emergence of CBDC.
