Again, however, the concerns regarding market volatility are real for many treasurers. A big dip in the Bitcoin market could potentially impact the share price of a large listed company, for example.

Similarly with Bitcoin, it should be approached gradually and reasonably. You certainly don’t want to invest too much, because you also need to assess what kind of relativity you can tolerate on our balance sheet, and get the agreement from the CFO that they could also live with that.”"}},{"__typename":"CoreHeadingBlock","attributes":{"textAlign":"","anchor":"h-progress-on-cbdcs","className":"","content":"Progress on CBDCs","level":2}},{"__typename":"CoreParagraphBlock","attributes":{"anchor":"","textAlign":"","className":"","content":"Of course, decentralised cryptocurrencies are not the only emerging digital currencies that will have an impact on treasurers.

It’s very difficult for a central bank to have a good understanding of economic activity that’s happening with cash. It’s a good way to evade taxes, for example, but with a CBDC economy, the government is able to know pretty much what’s happening. Secondly, it also gives governments and policymakers a fighting chance against money laundering.”"}},{"__typename":"CoreGroupBlock","attributes":{"textColor":"","backgroundColor":""},"innerBlocks":[{"__typename":"CoreGroupBlock"}]},{"__typename":"CoreParagraphBlock","attributes":{"anchor":"","textAlign":"","className":"","content":"From the research and development that central banks are putting in to developing and testing their own digital currencies, two main types of CBDCs are emerging: wholesale CBDCs and retail CBDCs."}},{"__typename":"CoreParagraphBlock","attributes":{"anchor":"","textAlign":"","className":"","content":"“A wholesale CBDC is between a central bank and the member banks, benefitting the member banks and affecting the central bank,” explains Arslanian. “The retail public does not see it, although it may have an impact on treasurers because it can potentially reduce costs. Potentially even more important is the retail CBDC, which is digital currency issued by the central bank that the public is able to hold.”"}},{"__typename":"CoreParagraphBlock","attributes":{"anchor":"","textAlign":"","className":"","content":"In the wholesale CBDC space, possibly the most advanced research can be found in the CBDC project for cross-border payments initiated by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority and the Bank of Thailand.

While the Bank of England launched a research project on this in March 2020, the Chinese have been looking into it since 2014, and are years ahead of anybody else on this.

Treasurers know all about the fees paid every year by sending money overseas, and also the user experience, which is absolutely terrible. With stablecoins, you are able to send money around the world 24/7, instantaneously, with virtually no fees. We’re increasingly seeing corporates send money to each other using stablecoins.”"}},{"__typename":"CoreParagraphBlock","attributes":{"anchor":"","textAlign":"","className":"","content":"For treasurers working in organisations that don’t want to put Bitcoin on the balance sheet for any reason, stablecoins offer an alternative digital currency experience that not only offers cost savings on cross-border payments but even benefits on the yield."}},{"__typename":"CoreParagraphBlock","attributes":{"anchor":"","textAlign":"","className":"","content":"Arslanian continues: “If I have any US dollar stablecoins today as a retail customer, I’m able to get anywhere from 8% to 11% of yield on them, which is something that’s very far from what I can get on fiat dollars at the bank. This is something to keep in mind. On an efficiency and effectiveness basis, I think stablecoins should be on the agenda of every corporate treasurer.”"}},{"__typename":"CoreHeadingBlock","attributes":{"textAlign":"","anchor":"h-the-regulatory-impact","className":"","content":"The regulatory impact","level":2}},{"__typename":"CoreParagraphBlock","attributes":{"anchor":"","textAlign":"","className":"","content":"One potential bump in the road towards the speedy adoption of cryptocurrencies comes from the regulators. Perhaps the most high-profile example of this so far came last December when the US Securities and Exchange Commission filed an action against Ripple Labs and two of the firm’s executives. The SEC claimed Ripple’s XRP was a security rather than a currency and alleged the company had raised more than $1.3bn through an unregistered securities offering. The ongoing lawsuit highlights the potential disconnect between the crypto world and regulators in general."}},{"__typename":"CoreParagraphBlock","attributes":{"anchor":"","textAlign":"","className":"","content":"“On one side you have a very fast-moving and radically innovative world of crypto,” says Dr Carsten Sørensen, Reader (Associate Professor) in Digital Innovation, PhD Programme Director, Information Systems & Innovation at The London School of Economics and Political Science Department of Management. “That is digital innovation, so it moves extremely fast. Then you have a regulatory world that’s trying to come to terms with what is happening here.

Therefore, treasurers might not want to take this kind of risk. Another issue is the fact that, for treasurers, a currency should usually have a level of interest, even a negative interest. If you don’t have interest it’s not like an asset, such as gold, and so you just either gain in capita or lose in capita.”"}},{"__typename":"CoreGroupBlock","attributes":{"textColor":"tmi-secondary","backgroundColor":"tmi-tertiary"},"innerBlocks":[{"__typename":"CoreImageBlock","attributesJSON":"{\"url\":\"https:\\/\\/admin.treasury-management.com\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2020\\/09\\/264FrancoisMasquelier.jpg\",\"alt\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"title\":\"\",\"href\":\"\",\"rel\":\"\",\"linkClass\":\"\",\"linkTarget\":\"\",\"anchor\":\"\",\"isAuthorHeadshot\":false,\"align\":\"center\",\"id\":11693,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"}","attributes":{"url":"https://admin.treasury-management.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/264FrancoisMasquelier.jpg","className":"","alt":"","anchor":"","caption":"","image_align":"center","isAuthorHeadshot":false}},{"__typename":"CoreParagraphBlock","attributes":{"anchor":"","textAlign":"center","className":"","content":"Francois Masquelier
