In this paper, we explore the economic implications of digital currencies during demographic transition. Through the analysis of the impact on economic patterns and population dynamics, we aim to identify challenges and opportunities in various demographic contexts.Our interdisciplinary approach investigates how digital currencies shape consumption and saving patterns across different demographics, and how this affects economic activity and stability. We also examine their impact on migration patterns and transnational financial flows in an increasingly globalized economy. Moreover, we analyze the socio-economic consequences of adopting digital currencies for older populations and vulnerable groups. By considering factors such as access to technology and financial literacy, we highlight potential policy and practice strategies that can maximize the benefits of digital currencies while minimizing their negative consequences on economic and social equilibrium. Ultimately, our research aims to provide valuable insights that can inform decision-making and contribute to the widespread adoption of digital currencies.
