Through the “Digital Canadian Dollar Public Consultation Report,” the Canadian central bank intended to identify a place for CBDCs in a world dominated by digital fiat payments and credit cards. However, in a survey that amassed 89,423 responses, Canadians demanded regulations requiring merchants to accept cash as payment.Awareness of a digital Canadian dollar. Source: bankofcanada.ca


The Bank of Canada’s report shows that nearly 95% of the respondents either heard or were familiar with the concept of a digital Canadian dollar. While awareness is one of the key factors for widespread adoption, the metric doesn’t hold for Canada.Canadians demand regulation for cash acceptance if CBDCs were to be introduced.

Of the respondents, 93% primarily make paper cash payments daily but also use credit and debit cards and other modes of online payments. In addition, just 15% of the respondents held Bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptocurrencies.

Additionally, the small demographic of respondents who previously held crypto showed more interest in using CBDCs.
