A stablecoin is a privately issued cryptoasset that aims to provide price stability by backing the coin with other assets.

CBDC pilot

"Le Banque de France announced on January 19 that a pilot saw 2 million euro worth of simulated shares purchased and sold by investors using a CBDC.

It took place with distributed ledger technology provided by SETL — a UK-based regulated blockchain services provider - which also provided the CBDC stablecoin."
