Consortium Issuance Model

Definition ∞ A Consortium Issuance Model describes a system where a group of organizations collectively manages the creation and distribution of a digital asset. This approach contrasts with single-entity or fully decentralized issuance methods. Participants in the consortium collaborate on governance and operational protocols. Such models are common in private or permissioned blockchain networks.
Context ∞ This model is particularly relevant in the context of enterprise blockchain solutions and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). Debates center on the degree of decentralization achieved and the regulatory implications for member institutions. Observing the legal and operational frameworks governing these consortia will be important for market participants.
