What does live mean on the registry?

medium confidenceAs of 2026-04-21

Live means the registry has source-backed evidence that the CBDC or CBDC-like central-bank-operated system is already available for real-world use, not just confined to a pilot cohort or future roadmap.

  • Live is the strongest operational status on the current public site.
  • The label requires production-use evidence rather than a future launch promise.
  • Official terminology may vary by jurisdiction even when the registry places the entry in live status.

Caveats

  • The label remains a registry classification rather than a legal status used identically by every central bank.
