Digital fiat refers to a central bank digital currency, which is a digital form of a country’s national currency issued and backed by its central bank. Unlike decentralized cryptocurrencies, digital fiat maintains the full faith and credit of the issuing government. It aims to modernize payment systems, enhance financial inclusion, and potentially improve monetary policy transmission. This represents a sovereign digital liability.
