Abstract
We compare three competing digital payment instruments: bank deposits, private stablecoins and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). A simple theoretical model integrates the theory of two-sided markets and payment economics to assess the benefits of interoperability through a retail fast payment system organised by the central bank. We show an equivalence result between such a fast payment system and a retail CBDC. We find that both can improve financial integration and increase trade volume, but also tend to reduce the market shares of incumbent intermediaries.
