MEASURABLE EFFECT

THE EVIDENCE

What to measure

Evaluate participant eligibility, settlement finality, liquidity provision, operating hours and legal status.

THE STRESS CHANNEL

When the mechanism matters

A platform outage or fragmentation between networks can impede settlement despite a low-credit-risk settlement asset.

Interpretation trap

Wholesale CBDC should not be confused with a retail wallet for the general public.

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 wholesale cbdc settlement, a useful starting route is: BIS Innovation Hub projects and central-bank wholesale CBDC publications.
