The WEF publication consists of 8 individual white papers covering topics such as regulating stablecoins, the impact of central bank digital currencies, and informing readers about the risks, rewards, and alternatives of digital assets.

The Digital Currency Governance Consortium White Paper Series by the World Economic Forum is a collaborative effort involving 85 organizations from 40 countries around the world.

"It is critically important to protect investors and consumers investing in cryptocurrencies and stablecoins," said Anne Richards, CEO of Fidelity International, who participated in the publication. The Digital Currency Governance Consortium focuses on this important issue, contributing to bridging the gap between consumer risks and regulation, and providing insights for future policy directions.

According to the World Economic Forum, nearly all governments can benefit from collaboration on central bank digital currencies (CBDC) and stablecoins, whether in preventing illegal activities, protecting consumers, or facilitating cross-border financial transactions. The white paper specifically highlights the potential for digital currencies to be compromised due to vulnerabilities in cybersecurity, with the ability to cause a "systemic financial crisis."

To address and prevent inconsistencies in stablecoins and CBDC that could lead to issues, the World Economic Forum white paper proposes a framework and establishes a working group composed of executives specializing in certain risk areas and members who develop digital asset standards. According to the analysis in the white paper, this approach can "lay the groundwork for sustainable innovation, adjust regulatory frameworks, and promote higher levels of international cooperation."
