Ripple CBDC Advisor Reacts

Recognizing the significance of this advancement, Ripple CBDC advisor, Anthony Welfare, lauded the wallet-to-wallet transfer use case. Welfare expressed that person-to-person payments without incurring costs are a fantastic feature for Palau stablecoin and other Central Bank Digital Currencies. 

This is a fantastic use case for the Palau stablecoin and other CBDC’s – the ability to send payments from one person directly to another (P2P) with no costs, built in security and no need to be in the same geographic location (which you need to do with cash ?) ?
