This week the DCMA has published the Universal Monetary Unit Whitepaper titled "A Best-in-Class Money Commodity for Strengthening Monetary Sovereignty with a Digital Economic Union."

 

April 20, 2023 -  During the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Spring Meetings 2023 last week, the Digital Currency Monetary Authority (DCMA) announced their official launch of Universal Monetary Unit (UMU), Unicoin.

 

Unicoin, an international central bank digital currency (CBDC) that can transact SWIFT-like cross-border payments over digital currency rails completely bypassing the correspondent banking system at best-priced wholesale FX rates and with instantaneous real-time settlement.

 

Whilst emerging market participants expressed hope Unicoin would be a solution for decolonizing the international monetary system, others expressed fears Unicoin could be a global centralized surveillance tool for governments.

 

Darrell Hubbard, the Executive Director of the DCMA, commented: "Central banks do not fully understand the driving forces behind cryptocurrency adoption and have missed the mark on their research, development, and launch of CBDC projects. While banks are focused on monetary sovereignty and financial integrity, crypto investors are keenly interested in making money in a more fair and open financial monetary system."

 

CBDCs are simply digitized legal tender so If a country's legal tender is systemically losing in value to the U.S. Dollar, so will its CBDC. 

 

Darrell explains that Unicoin could be different as CBDCs are legal tender regulated by central banks whereas Universal Monetary Unit is a money commodity regulated by the U.S. Commodities Futures and Trade Commission (CFTC). 

 

Darrell commented: "Unicoin offers the best of both worlds between a cryptocurrency and a CBDC. As a crypto asset, Unicoin adopts monetary policies to ensure it sustains its store of value stronger than any fiat currency while simultaneously complying with banking regulations to strengthen monetary sovereignty."

 

The Unicoin Whitepaper unveils several innovations designed to make banking faster and safer while strengthening and not disrupting the international monetary system.

 

Unicoin is built on open standards and is deployed like a money operating system. Banks and Fintech companies can easily integrate with existing apps with a UMU store of value wallet to conduct real-time cost-efficient digital banking, digital trade, and digital payments worldwide.

 

In the Whitepaper, the DCMA responds to the IMF's recently published report on the potential risks crypto assets pose to the banking industry. The DCMA refutes every single potential risk identified by the IMF and explains how Unicoin strengthens and not weakens the international monetary system.
