It has recently been reported that more than half of the world\u2019s central banks are now investigating the potential of CBDCs, with some CBDCs having already gone live. In 2023, we can expect many more CBDC projects around the globe to reach the stages of research, testing, and deployment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-17\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow\">\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-15\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-heading\" style=\"line-height:1.4\">Sustained innovation in relation to DeFi and NFTs&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Whatever form the anticipated stringent regulation takes, it is unlikely that the ingenuity we have already seen from key and emerging DeFi (decentralised finance) and NFT (non-fungible token) players will slow down much in 2023.
