Q3:
Which of the following features differentiate Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) from private cryptocurrencies? 1. CBDC is legal tender backed by the central bank. 2. CBDC has intrinsic commodity value like gold. 3. CBDC is regulated and issued by the monetary authority. 4. CBDC carries sovereign guarantee. Select the correct answer:
A: 1 and 2 only
B: 1,3 and 4 only
C: 1, 2 and 3 only
D: 1, 2, 3 and 4
Answer: B
Explanation:
Statement 1 is correct: CBDC is recognized as legal tender, meaning it is officially accepted for the payment of debts and taxes, unlike most private cryptocurrencies.
Statement 3 is correct: CBDC is strictly regulated and issued by a central bank (monetary authority), whereas private cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are decentralized and operate without a central governing body.
Statement 4 is correct: Because it is an official liability of the central bank, CBDC carries a sovereign guarantee, providing a level of safety and stability that private, unbacked crypto assets do not possess.
Statement 2 is incorrect: CBDC is a form of fiat money, which by definition does not have intrinsic commodity value like gold or silver. Its value is derived from government decree and public trust in the central bank, not from a physical commodity.
