The Future of Money
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This article explores the fundamental transformation of monetary systems in the context of digitalization, financial decentralization, and geopolitical fragmentation. It critically examines the shifting roles of central banks, private financial actors, and emerging technologies such as Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), stablecoins, and decentralized finance (DeFi). The paper offers an interdisciplinary perspective by incorporating macroeconomic theories, institutional shifts, regulatory frameworks, and socio-political implications of monetary innovation. Special attention is given to the evolving logic of financial sovereignty and the impact of AI, surveillance, and cyber-resilience on future financial infrastructures. The work is aimed at economists, regulators, policy makers, and scholars interested in systemic financial innovation and digital sovereignty.
