The advent of new digital currencies has challenged our notions
about money, its function and purpose, and our faith in the
financial and banking structures that underpin its legitimacy.
Oonagh McDonald examines the challenges, opportunities and threats
that cryptocurrencies pose to existing fiat currencies and their
potential to change how global finance operates. From Bitcoin to
Facebook's Diem, the book charts the spectacular rise of
cryptocurrencies over the past decade alongside the much slower
regulatory response. It assesses the potential of the technology
underpinning new digital currencies - blockchain, digital tokens
and smart contracts - to evade existing regulatory frameworks and
considers the need for more robust protection from fraudulent
initial coin offerings, scams and hacks. The book examines the
motivations of central banks as they begin to explore opportunities
for an alternative global digital currency, and what this might
mean for the supremacy of the dollar and other fiat currencies. The
future of cash is also considered. Throughout her analysis,
McDonald shows that trust is fundamental to the operation of
finance and that this will ultimately protect commercial bank money
from the threat of new digital currencies. The book offers readers
an insightful appraisal of the future of money and the challenges
facing regulatory bodies.
