The United States-based nonprofit Digital Dollar Project announced on Monday it will launch five pilot programmes over the next 12 months to test the potential uses of a US central bank digital currency, the first effort of its kind in the country.The private-sector pilots will be initially funded by Accenture Plc and involve financial firms, retailers and non-profit organisations, among others. The aim is to generate data that could help US policymakers develop a digital dollar.A partnership between Accenture and the Digital Dollar Foundation, the Digital Dollar Project was created last year to promote research into a US central bank digital currency (CBDC).
