The testing will start \u201caround September to October\u201d of 2024 and last for three months.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>According to a Korea Times report from Nov. 23, participants will be restricted to using the CBDC only for payment, without an option to store, exchange or send it to other users. The goal of the pilot stage is to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of issuing and distributing the currency. <\/p>\n<p>The BOK will also collaborate with the Korea Exchange to integrate its new digital currency into a simulation system for carbon emissions trading to test the feasibility of delivery versus payment transactions. The BOK statement cited by the newspaper said: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201c[&#8230;] The pilot project will be conducted first in the fourth quarter of 2024. The possibility of conducting separate pilots will be considered as well if banks propose new individual projects.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The statements from the BOK coincided with a visit to the country\u2019s capital, Seoul, by Agustin Carstens, general manager of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS). Carstens has publicly referred to the Korean CBDC project as the digital won.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Related: <\/em><\/strong><strong><em>IMF head: CBDCs can replace cash, help financial inclusion<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Bank of Korea announced the launch of the CBDC pilot in October.
