Reserve Bank of India to Conduct CBDC Pilot Project With Four State-Run Banks



India's central bank is set to run a pilot project with four state-run banks. The launch of the CBDC is slated for later in the year.
Fintech Company FIS to Advise on CBDC Pilot
India’s central bank is set to conduct a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) pilot project with four public sector banks with the potential launch toward the end of the year.
According to media reports the Reserve Bank of India will work with State Bank of India, Punjab National Bank, Union Bank of India and Bank of Baroda to run the pilot, with fintech company FIS advising. FIS is a provider of payment infrastructure solutions which has developed a CBDC virtual lab as part of its RealNet platform used by central banks around the world.
The launch of an Indian CBDC raises questions about its impact on stablecoins and cross-border payments. How the central agencies will regulate stablecoins remains an issue still not addressed by policymakers in India.
“It is too early to confidently forecast the trajectory and endgame for CBDCs and stablecoins, given the multitude of unresolved design factors still in play. For instance, will central banks focus first on retail or wholesale use cases, and emphasize domestic or cross-border applications?” said Raj Kapoor, Founder of India Blockchain Alliance
Regulation and innovation make the impact hard to predict but early efforts to issue CBDCs have been met with only moderate adoption, Kapoor said.
“While it is too early to predict the impact of greater regulation on stablecoins, innovation continues apace with the likely emergence of many more (and newer) varieties in coming years. Coexistence and balance seem to be the future,” Kapoor said.

Time Running Out for BNB? Why Investors Are Moving from BNB to $NUGX

Investors are turning to NuggetRush (NUGX), a mining project offering a unique mining adventure game with potential rewards.
TLDR
- BNB faces potentially reduced investor sentiment following Binance Exchange’s links to money-laundering activities.
- Binance’s founder and former CEO, Changpeng Zhao, has already resigned.
- NuggetRush (NUGX) offers high entertainment and community collaboration in its mining adventure game.
Binance Exchange has been involved in money laundering scandals as of late, leading to the resignation of its founder as CEO. Analysts say the controversy would likely increase negative sentiment for BNB.
Disappointed BNB holders are now turning to NuggetRush (NUGX), a mining project whose ongoing presale has risen by 30%. NuggetRush (NUGX) offers various rewards, including the opportunity to win real gold.
Yet, can this make it the best option out of available new ICOs? Let’s discuss.
BNB November Gains Undone By Money Laundering Scandal
The bullishness in the crypto market in November increased investor sentiment for several networks. Like many top altcoins, BNB started November with a rally.
Yet, BNB’s investor sentiment dropped sharply following Binance’s controversial involvement in money laundering schemes. On November 28, Changpeng Zhao resigned as CEO of Binance due to negligent behavior toward money laundering activities.
BNB’s decline has undone all its November gains. At the start of November, BNB was trading at $228.00, By November 20, BNB had jumped by 11.24% to $253.64. BNB dropped $229.30 by December 2, a few days after Changpeng’s resignation.
Binance is among the most active exchanges, with a daily trading volume of over $50 billion. Still, the recent controversy around money laundering activities has reduced its social sentiment.
Many investors are pulling their funds off Binance, which has pushed its withdrawals over $1 billion. Analysts expect this trend to continue in the short term. This could worsen BNB’s prospects, dropping it by 15.8% to $213.45.
