Tether is positioned to be the CBDC
Discussion
Maybe, but if it's on the lightning network it will at least have some privacy. You can also use it on liquid which is pretty private. Tether on Solana or Ethereum could be a CBDC.
This is how I see it, but I wouldn't use Tether because of counterparty risk. It does not solve the double spending problem. Unfortunately, most people don't care about that.
