A digital payment asset is any digital representation of value that can be transferred electronically and used for transactions. This includes cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, and central bank digital currencies, all designed to facilitate payments. These assets allow for direct peer-to-peer transfers or transactions through various digital platforms. Their utility stems from their ability to enable swift and often lower-cost value exchange compared to traditional payment methods.

Discussions also focus on the adoption rates and infrastructure development required for widespread use.
