Virtual national currencies, or central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), are digital versions of regular money issued by central banks. They have the same value as paper money but exist only in digital form.

The main advantages of virtual national currencies:

*   Convenience: They can be used for fast and secure online payments.
    
*   Control: Central banks can better control the money supply and combat financial crimes.
    
*   Inclusivity: They can help people who do not have access to traditional banking services.
