summary

Panelists lay out concrete risks and timelines: CBDCs aim to digitize central‑bank liabilities but often drop cash‑like privacy, promise digital cash? only for “low‑risk” transactions, and may cap balances at 3,000–5,000 EUR. Regulators plan rollouts (EU talks target 2026), public feedback shows ~76% opposition, and watchdogs insist anonymity is not negotiable. Built prototypes (China’s e‑CNY) already enable real‑time surveillance, targeted censorship and instant negative interest rates, meaning control, not liberation, in practice.
