Balancing Compliance and Privacy in Offline CBDC Transactions Using a Secure Element-based System

Persistent financial frictions - including price volatility, constrained credit access, and supply chain inefficiencies - have long hindered productivity and welfare in the global agricultural sector. This paper provides a theoretical and applied analysis of how fiat-collateralized stablecoins, a class of digital currency pegged to a stable asset like the U.S. dollar, can address these long-standing challenges. We develop a farm-level profit maximization model incorporating transaction costs an…
