In our days that’s hard to find countries in the world with central banks that not undertake energetic actions toward developing own digital currencies (CBDC – Central Bank Digital Currency). Those efforts are caring out in a similar way with advancing traditional centralized money system set under legal tender by a government. In a parallel mode we observe rapid demand growth for use of decentralized digital currencies, represented by different classes financial assets such as coins, tokens, e-money. The question arises: does CBDC transform and replace any traditional monetary system, assuming that new arrangement ought to satisfy practical needs for all contestants of complicate ecosystem structure starting from households/private investors, businesses, government?
