Banks are being incentivized to drive adoption of digital currency by earning interest on holdings. This policy move marks a strategic shift in how central authorities approach CBDC integration into the financial system. By allowing financial institutions to generate returns, the initiative tackles one of the key barriers to mainstream adoption—making it economically worthwhile for banks to actively promote the digital currency among customers. The interest-bearing mechanism transforms banks from passive participants into active stakeholders, potentially accelerating the transition toward digital currency ecosystems. This approach mirrors incentive models seen in other blockchain and Web3 adoption strategies, where economic rewards play a crucial role in network growth.

This move is really clever; banks will only truly promote digital currency if they stand to profit from it.

Banks earn interest, now they're really going to push CBDC... their calculations are very clever.

The central bank's move is quite aggressive, directly enticing banks with interest to promote CBDC... But to be honest, this approach of just giving money and expecting action really works.

Wow, just by giving banks interest, they can push CBDC. This tactic is quite similar to Web3 incentives... It's just about making stakeholders profit, and then they will actively promote it.
