Speaking exclusively with Finextra, Barclays has announced it will host the ‘Barclays CBDC Hackathon 2022’ later this year, to promote the emergence of new technologies in large-scale banks.
The hackathon will run on the 27th and 28th of September, and will consist of a series of coding challenges that will simulate the use of central bank digital currency (CDBC) and commercial bank money.
