    “Crypto isn’t backed by a government”

    “CBDC is a digital form of fiat—money that is issued by central banks. It is designed to be a digital representation of the country’s physical currency. Unlike cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum, CBDC is backed by the government and is legal tender.”

    CBDC is blockchain based, i.e cryptocurrency.

    Japan is developing a similar cryptocurrency as well.
