Canada's recent withdrawal from central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) poses a significant threat to the future of Web3's interoperability. According to Temujin Louie, CEO of Wanchain, the lack of interoperability among CBDCs is not just a challenge for these currencies but also for the entire Web3 ecosystem.
Interoperability is crucial for the seamless operation of digital currencies and blockchain technologies. Without it, the potential of Web3 cannot be fully realized. Louie argues that the fragmentation caused by isolated CBDCs can hinder innovation and limit user access to various blockchain networks.
Looking forward, it is essential for policymakers and industry leaders to prioritize interoperability in the development of CBDCs. This focus will not only benefit digital currencies but also enhance the overall functionality of the Web3 landscape.
