Central Bank Authority refers to the power held by a nation’s central bank over its financial system and monetary policy. This authority encompasses issuing currency, managing interest rates, regulating commercial banks, and maintaining financial stability within an economy. In the digital asset space, it extends to policy formulation regarding cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). Their decisions significantly influence the legality, adoption, and operational conditions for digital assets within their jurisdiction.
