China’s digital currency may be world’s first
Phnom Penh Post:
Central bank digital currency (CBDC) is a new form of money issued digitally by the central bank and to serve as legal tender – a country’s sovereign currency. It has no physical form like cash, but is backed by the reserves of valuable assets that commercial institutions deposit in the central bank.
Like a token, the upcoming CBDC could be put into electronic wallets, supporting direct and peer-to-peer transactions. The “wallet” could be an app on a handheld device, such as a mobile phone, but the final design has not yet been settled, according to Mu Changchun, deputy director of the central bank’s payments department.

Hmmm..... and no doubt the ledger in the sole control of China, giving it the power to transfer / revoke / duplicate ownership of funds.
Not to mention an absolute and complete map of every connected transaction the currency is ever used for. That would be a very interesting dataset to mine.
Who would you rather have mining this information .... the Chinese government or Facebook
(I honestly have no idea which would be least bad).
