Bank of England Governor Skeptical: Is a Retail CBDC Really Necessary in 2025?
Bank of England Governor Skeptical: Is a Retail CBDC Really Necessary in 2025?

The Bank of England's governor just threw cold water on the hype around retail central bank digital currencies (CBDCs)—questioning whether they solve any real problems in today's financial landscape.
Another day, another central banker doubting innovation while private crypto eats their lunch.
Key takeaways:
- The UK's top banker sees little urgency for a digital pound
- Existing payment systems work fine (if you ignore the 3-day bank transfers and 15% remittance fees)
- Privacy concerns remain unresolved—because nothing says 'trust us' like government-controlled money
While bureaucrats debate theoretical risks, Bitcoin's market cap quietly doubled this year. Maybe focus on making money work better instead of just making more money printers?
