ABSTRACTThe digital transformation of money has raised concerns about how it affects sovereignty. The rise of cryptocurrencies and the possibility of global payment systems based on stablecoins and digital currencies issued by central banks require a re-evaluation of the effects of these changes on the concept of money as a public good and legal tender. The analysis will start focusing on this experience and its implications to shift to the case where a cryptocurrency is used as a central bank currency. Then an attempt will be made to frame the distinctive features of a digital currency issued by a central bank.KEYWORDS: CBDClegal tenderdigital currencydistributed ledger technologyblockchainpayment systeminternational monetary system Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 See Sarah Green, ‘It is Virtually Money’ in David Fox and Sarah Green (eds), Cryptocurrencies in public and private law (OUP 2019) 13 et seq.; Maria Rosa Lastra, ‘Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and the Case for Public Money’ (Centre for Commercial Law StudiesNews, 7 April 2022) .2 See, forward, n 4 and n 6.3 See 'Box 1: Public versus private money, or a mix of both?' in Jean-Pierre Landau and Markus K Brunnermeier, ‘The Digital Euro: Policy Implications and Perspectives’ [2022] 53 Policy Department for Economic, Scientific and Quality of Life Policies Directorate-General for Internal Policies 12.4 ‘The use of money is limited, as in the case of the park bench, and therefore, money is, according to the currently common scientific definition, an ‘impure public good.’ However, there is an important aspect of money which constitutes a ‘pure public good’: money creates trust between people who do not know each other. The State establishes and supports the trust in legal tender and the official currency, making this trust a ‘pure public good’ – non-excludable and non-rivalrous.
