以色列央行周五表示，CBDC 或中央银行数字货币将成为三大金融和贷款机构验证新数字货币系统可行性的主要重点。
今年第三季度启动后，以色列银行、香港金融管理局和国际清算银行创新中心的联合 CBDC 项目将采用两层方法。
这意味着 CBDC 由中央银行发行后，将通过金融中介转移给消费者。
在 BISIH 香港中心的指导下，并利用 Aurum 项目建立的基础，Sela 项目将调查零售 CBDC 背景下的网络安全漏洞。

BOI 表示，该测试将受到网络安全保护，根据提议的方法，中介机构不会因客户存储或转移数字货币而面临财务风险，从而降低风险和费用。
通常，商业银行会将中央银行的货币分发给普通民众。即使在数字支付系统中，将资金从一端转移到另一端通常会使参与交易的中间人面临财务风险，尽管时间很短。
这项研究将调查中间体“无暴露”的两层架构的可持续性。作为测试的一部分，以色列和香港将评估这是否会使该国更不容易受到网络攻击。

这是以色列有史以来最接近调查 CBDC 可能性的一次。中央银行的一个委员会建议不要在 2018 年引入谢克尔的数字版本，从而停止了该计划。

以色列银行副行长 Andrew Abir 发表声明说：
“提供有效的支付系统将提高支付领域的竞争力，这是我们概述可能发行以色列 CBDC 的主要原因之一。”
通过 Aurum 项目，香港一直在研究一种两级分配方案，在该方案中，CBDC 通过商业银行和支付服务提供商向公众发行。
