Daniel Voss — Payments & Digital Currency Analyst

Daniel Voss is the writer and researcher behind solanacbdc.com. His focus is the infrastructure layer of money: central bank digital currencies, stablecoin regulation, tokenized bank deposits, and the public blockchain rails — Solana in particular — where regulated digital money increasingly settles.

His approach is closer to an equity analyst’s than a news desk’s: primary sources first (BIS and IMF papers, central bank publications, legislative texts on Congress.gov, on-chain data), claims dated and verifiable, and a standing rule that every “last verified” stamp on this site means a human re-checked the page against the source — not that a script touched a timestamp.

Coverage areas

• CBDC design and policy — wholesale vs retail architectures, privacy models, the legislative fights in Washington and Brussels
• Country programs — the digital euro, e-CNY, India’s digital rupee, Brazil’s Drex, and the failures as much as the launches
• Private digital money — stablecoins under the GENIUS Act and MiCA, tokenized deposits, deposit-token consortium networks
• Solana’s institutional stack — stablecoin settlement volume, Solana Pay, real-world assets, the R3 collaboration
