Speaking to David Rubenstein, the Citigroup chief executive made clear that CBDCs are “inevitable” development in the near-future development of money. CitiGroup is a multinational banking giant and is helping bring this future closer, as he said:

 “We’ve been working with governments around the world in terms of the creation and commercialization of sovereign digital currencies.”

However, Corbat didn’t say much on Citigroup’s government partners but a spokesperson of the bank Danielle Romero Apsilos, said that the bank is “actively participating” in CBDC consultations that are held by the central banks:

 “As a significant practitioner in the payments market with connections to over 200 clearing systems, Citi is providing experience-based insights into the design choices involved in the formulation of digital currencies.”

Citigroup’s press office didn’t comment further on the extent of the partnership. However, it is clear that crypto assets will play a huge role in the age of CBDCs as Corbat explained.

A while back, Corbat predicted that central bank digital currencies will arise as the direct response to the threat posed by BTC and his bank has been researching them since 2014.

As recently reported on Citibank, Citibank predicts 20% dollar crash but also believes that the Bitcoin bull market will continue in 2021. Citi analyst Calin Tse explained the prospects of a weaker US Dollar in his research and said that it could fall by about 20% in 2021 because of the risks induced by the COVID-19 vaccine arrival as well as the stimulus program by the Federal Reserve.
