Should a central bank take over the provision of e-money, a circulable electronic liability?

https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2018/09/staff-working-paper-2018-45/
Can securities be settled on a blockchain and, if so, what are the gains relative to existing settlement systems?

The main benefit of a blockchain is faster and more flexible settlement, whereas the challenge is to avoid settlement fails when participants fork the chain to get rid of trading losses.2018-09-07T14:55:48+00:00enBlockchain-Based Settlement for Asset Trading2018-09-07Digital currencies and fintechEconomic modelsFinancial marketsPayment clearing and settlement systemsStaff Working Paper 2018-45https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/swp2018-45.pdfBlockchain-Based Settlement for Asset TradingJonathan ChiuThorsten KoepplSeptember 2018GG2HH4PP4P43Central Bank Digital Currency and Monetary Policy
