• Abstract: Money is more than just a numeric value. It embodies trust and moral gravity, and it offers flexible ways to transact. However, the emergence of Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) is set to bring about a drastic change in the future of money. This paper invites designers to reflect on their role in shaping material and immaterial monetary change. In this rapidly changing landscape, design could be instrumental in uncovering and showcasing the diverse values that money holds for different stakeholders. Understanding these diversities could promote a more equitable and inclusive financial, social, and global landscape within emergent forms of cash-like digital currency. Without such consideration, certain forms of money we have come to know could disappear, along with the values people hold upon them. We report on semi-structured interviews with stakeholders who have current knowledge or involvement in the emerging field of Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). Our research indicates that this new form of money presents both challenges and opportunities for designers. Specifically, we emphasise the potential for Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) to either positively or negatively reform values through its design. By considering time, reflecting present values, and promoting inclusion in its deployment, we can strive to ensure that Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) represents the diverse needs and perspectives of its users.

  We focus on three key capabilities: communication between digital pound ecosystem participants, funds locking, and interoperability across digital pounds and commercial bank money. We conclude that a financial market infrastructure (FMI) providing specific capabilities could simplify the experience of ecosystem participants, simplify the operating platforms for both the Bank of England and digital pound Payment Interface Providers (PIPs) and facilitate the creation of innovative services.
