Crypto Industry News:
The Reserve Bank of India announced on Tuesday that it will launch the first digital rupee pilot program "to be used on a case by case basis", starting with the broadly understood wholesale sector. The wholesale sector includes financial institutions such as banks and interbank transactions such as securities settlement and inter-currency payments.
The aim of the pilot program is to start testing the settlement of transactions on the secondary market on government securities.
Central bank officials are testing whether the integration of the central bank's digital currency (CBDC) with the domestic financial system can help increase the efficiency of the interbank market and reduce the associated transaction costs. According to the bank, having a digital rupee system "would anticipate the need for a settlement guarantee infrastructure for collateral to reduce settlement risk."
After the system has been tested, additional pilots will be launched to test other types of wholesale and cross-border payments using the knowledge gathered during the trials.
A total of nine banks will participate in the pilot test, including State Bank of India, Bank of Baroda, Union Bank of India, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Yes Bank, IDFC First Bank and HSBC.
