Abstract

Zusammenfassung Seit der Einführung von Bitcoin 2008 und vieler anderer Kryptowährungen ist eine neue Welle innovativer Zahlungsprojekte im Gange, darunter Innovationen wie Libra — als supranationaler Stablecoin konzipiert — und digitale Zentralbankwährungen. Diese privaten und öffentlichen Projekte sind durch verschiedene Wechselbeziehungen miteinander verbunden. Bitcoin hat sich bislang nicht zu einem weit verbreiteten Zahlungsmittel entwickelt, unter anderem wegen der erheblichen Preisvolatilität. Im Gegensatz dazu soll Libra ein eher konventionelles Zahlungsmittel mit engen Beziehungen zum bestehenden Bankensektor werden, was viele Fragen zur Geld- und Finanzstabilität aufwirft. Digitale Zentralbankwährungen könnten als Reaktion des öffentlichen Sektors auf diese privaten Projekte angesehen werden, um die vorherrschende Rolle der Zentralbanken im Währungssystem der Zukunft zu sichern.
