The Bahamian government is planning to enforce regulations that will compel commercial banks to distribute its central bank digital currency (CBDC), known as the Sand Dollar. Despite efforts to encourage adoption, the CBDC accounts for less than 0.41% of the currency in circulation, and usage has been declining. The Central Bank of The Bahamas is now turning to regulation to boost adoption. This approach mirrors that of Nigeria, where the central bank faced a similar lack of interest in its CBDC and resorted to removing cash from circulation to drive adoption. Critics argue that if a product requires force for adoption, it may not be a good idea in the first place.
