Deutsche Bank survey: Consumers prefer debit or credit cards to CBDC

PANews reported on September 18 that according to Coindesk, Deutsche Bank surveyed 4,850 consumers in Europe, the United Kingdom and the United States in March this year. The survey shows that although 94% of central banks around the world are exploring the use of these cryptocurrencies, consumers are still reluctant to use central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). They prefer to use debit or credit cards. Only 16% of respondents believe that CBDCs will become mainstream, and 31% said they prefer central bank-backed cryptocurrencies to private versions. 31% said they prefer to use cryptocurrencies managed by central banks or governments, while only 21% said they would choose to use private cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.
