Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC) vs. Private Finance

About this model

Economic discourse today is dominated by the 'De-Staking' phenomenon as major central banks launch their retail CBDCs with yield-bearing features. This has caused a massive search trend in finance as individuals move their savings from traditional commercial banks into direct central bank accounts. The description of this event centers on the 'liquidity crunch' facing smaller regional banks that can no longer compete with the risk-free rates offered by sovereign digital currencies. This transition is being called the most significant shift in the fractional reserve banking system in the last century. Global markets are reacting to the increased transparency of these currencies, which allows for real-time taxation and automated stimulus distribution, but also raises significant privacy concerns that are currently trending in search engine 'opinion' sections across the globe.
