Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) continue to gain momentum around the world. While we are not exactly leading the way in this country there is important work being done already, work that will help shape how a CBDC will function here.

My next guest on the Fintech One-on-One Podcast is Daniel Gorfine, the co-founder of the Digital Dollar Project. This organization is doing incredibly important work, combining the efforts of all the existing research that is out there, and helping to create real-world pilots. A U.S. CBDC is most likely coming, and in this interview, you can discover what it will look like and how it will work.

In this podcast you will learn:

• What the Digital Dollar Project is and how it got off the ground.
• The people and organizations that are involved.
• How they work with existing CBDC projects such as Project Hamilton.
• Details of pilots they are involved with right now.
• What they are learning from the CBDCs of other countries.
• How a CBDC could work with a bank-issued stablecoin.
• What the programmable element of digital money could mean.
• Where we are at in Washington when it comes to CBDCs.
• What is the end game for the Digital Dollar Project.
• How a Digital Dollar will actually work and Daniel's best guess on a timeline.
