This marks the first time AI language models have been used to quantify and track the viral spread of CBDC acceptance between nations. The study's revelation that CBDC sentiment is contagious between central banks demonstrates an unprecedented psychological mechanism for rapid global monetary transformation - one that could accelerate adoption far faster than technical or policy approaches alone.
BIS Study: CBDC Sentiment Spreads Like Virus Between Nations
📰 What Happened
A July 18, 2025 Bank for International Settlements study analyzed CBDC sentiment across 15 economies using large language models. Researchers Boris Hofmann, Xiaorui Tang and Feng Zhu discovered that attitudes toward central bank digital currencies significantly cascade from major economies to developing nations. The study uniquely employed AI to analyze both media coverage and central bank publications to track how CBDC sentiment spreads between nations.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The BIS study's discovery of 'contagious' CBDC sentiment across 15 economies reveals three converging prophetic accelerants: 1) AI technology tracking monetary psychology across nations aligns with Rev 13's global economic surveillance, 2) The documented spillover effect from major to minor economies shows how a single financial system could rapidly spread worldwide, matching Daniel's one-world economic vision, 3) The involvement of the BIS, the central bank of central banks, in studying sentiment spread suggests coordinated preparation for a unified digital currency system as prophesied in Revelation 13:16-17.
