However, the highvolatility in the value of cryptocurrencies, its decentralised network and lackof formal regulation pose severe threats to the monetary policy role of centralbanks. Hence, this study explored the dynamics of cryptocurrencies and how itaffects the monetary policy roles of central banks. The study showed thatcryptocurrencies help foster the actualisation of cashless economies andseamless international transactions but its lack of international coordinationhas continued to undermine tapping optimally into its inherent benefits. Therefore,this study emphasised the imperativeness of central bank digital currencies(CBDCs) for effective financial sector regulation and protection of users ofthis financial innovation.
