Digital currency issuance refers to the creation and initial distribution of digital money. This process can involve various methods, such as cryptographic mining in decentralized networks, or centralized minting by central banks for digital currencies. It establishes the initial supply and distribution rules for a new digital asset. The issuance mechanism has significant implications for monetary policy, economic stability, and the governance structure of the currency.

Central banks are actively exploring issuance models to modernize payment systems and maintain monetary sovereignty in the digital age.
