Electronic money refers to monetary value stored digitally, representing a claim against the issuer, and accepted as a means of payment by parties other than the issuer. This digital representation of currency facilitates transactions through electronic systems rather than physical cash. It encompasses various forms, including balances on payment apps, prepaid cards, and some stablecoins. Electronic money aims to enhance transaction speed and reduce physical handling costs.
