Use Case Working Group

The primary goal of the Digital Pound Foundation’s Use Case Working Group is to begin defining the universe of possible use cases and quickly progress to focussing on leading opportunities, which will be fully worked up with the intention for members to build actual demonstrations and proof-of-concept services. All of our work will be backed by the power of the DPF network, hosting sessions with regulators, banks and other stakeholders held as necessary.

All Digital Pound Foundation members have the opportunity to get involved in the creation of educational materials, thought leadership and resources, as well as an engaging programme of communications, publications and events, that will not only support the wider understanding of new forms of digital money, but help to showcase their knowledge and expertise. If your organisation would like to get involved with the Use Case Working Group, or any of our other working groups, we would love to hear from you.

There is no universal case for CBDCs because each economy is different. In some cases, a CBDC may be an important path to financial inclusion—for instance, where geography is an obstacle to physical banking. In others, a CBDC could provide an essential backup in the event that other payment instruments fail. One such case was when the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank extended its CBDC pilot to areas struck by a volcanic eruption last year. So, central banks should tailor plans to their specific circumstances and needs.
