CBDC FAQ
Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) are digital forms of government-issued money. LyteWire integrates CBDCs to provide the most comprehensive payment rail — connecting traditional finance, cryptocurrency, and government digital currencies in one platform. This enables seamless cross-border payments between CBDC jurisdictions.
CBDCs are government-backed and regulated by central banks, offering zero volatility risk. Unlike stablecoins which are privately issued, CBDCs carry the full faith of their respective governments. LyteWire's CBDC rails offer direct settlement with central bank systems, bypassing traditional banking intermediaries.
Yes! LyteWire's cross-chain bridge supports CBDC-to-crypto and CBDC-to-CBDC conversions. You can bridge Digital Dirham to AE Coin, convert eNaira to USDT, or swap Digital Euro to ETH. Real-time exchange rates are provided by our rate engine.
CBDC transactions follow the regulations of their issuing central bank. LyteWire's compliance engine automatically applies jurisdiction-specific rules including KYC/AML, transaction limits, travel rule requirements, and reporting obligations. Enterprise clients get full compliance dashboards.
CBDC privacy varies by jurisdiction. The Digital Euro is designed with privacy-preserving features for small transactions. All CBDC transactions comply with local data protection laws (GDPR in Europe, data residency requirements elsewhere). LyteWire never stores more data than required by regulation.
