How it works

The design seeks to preserve central-bank-money settlement while enabling programmable transfers in approved environments.

MEASURABLE EFFECT

THE EVIDENCE

What to measure

Check issuer liability, convertibility, participant access, governance, legal finality and synchronization with existing RTGS systems.

THE STRESS CHANNEL

When the mechanism matters

If token balances cannot be converted or reconciled promptly with central-bank accounts, liquidity can fragment.

Interpretation trap

A reserve token is not automatically a freely transferable public cryptocurrency.

RESEARCH METHOD

How to verify the claim

Begin with the underlying balance-sheet, contract or market-series evidence rather than a secondary headline. Check the definition of each exposure, its reporting date, and the institution or jurisdiction to which it applies. For central bank reserve tokenization, a useful starting route is: Central-bank research, BIS tokenisation reports and official pilot documentation.
