mBridge CBDC project preparing for new members, launch of minimum viable product By Cointelegraph

Project mBridge may soon see significant expansion, according to Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) CEO Eddie Yue. He outlined the plans for the central bank digital currency (CBDC) project in a speech in Shanghai.

Yue said tests have shown mBridge to provide faster, cheaper, more transparent cross-border payments. The project was initiated in 2021 with the participation of the HKMA and the central banks of China, Thailand and the United Arab Emirates, as well as commercial banks from each of those jurisdictions and the Bank for International Settlements Innovation Hub.
