Abstract: Abstract Technological enhancements have spurred central banks worldwide to explore the potential of the emergence of digital currencies. Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is one of the most renowned central banks in the world and has made steps toward creating and implementing a sovereign digital currency. RBI provides a secure, efficient, and open trading platform for the digital Rupee. The digital Rupee’s purpose is to use blockchain and other cutting-edge technology to facilitate cross-border transactions by accelerating settlement times and removing the drawbacks of traditional payment systems. Due to its real-time settlement capabilities, digital currency is predicted to boost the overall effectiveness of international trade. This chapter explains the significance of the RBI's digital currency in international trade, potential risks and challenges, compares and contrasts Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) with current digital currencies, and analyzes and extrapolates from international CBDC experiments. This study will be helpful for scholars, policymakers, financial institution managers, the government, and regulatory bodies, offering valuable insights for informed decision-making and strategic planning.
