Christos Gortsos and Rolf Sethe are editors of this new book with contributions on the introduction of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), i.e. the digital form of government-issued legal tender. The contributions are the results of a colloquium jointly organised by the Collegium Helveticum and the Financial Market Regulation Research Programme (URPP FinReg).

The contributions to this book provide an in-depth analysis of the following aspects of CBDCs:

• Global Financial Architecture and Decentralized CBDC Regimes by Rolf H. Weber
• The Shift from Private Money into “Unlimited” CBDCs: An Unviable Development or a Chance for Reform and New Opportunities? by Christian Hofmann
• A Macroeconomic Perspective on Retail CBDC and the Digital Euro by Dirk Niepelt
• Central Bank Digital Currencies: Central Bank Money Reaches a New Frontier by Chiara Zilioli
• The Simple(r) Case for Wholesale Central Bank Digital Currency by Thomas Moser

The articles constitute an optimal blend between legal, institutional, and economic aspects on CBDCs by high-quality experts, combining the academic, and the central bank perspectives.
