Wow, that is a lot to take in. Looking at the points you listed, there really is little to no use for this. I wonder if they are feeling the pressure of crypto, and how a lot of stablecoins are backed by dollar, and want to mimic that.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
The Fed will never issue a CBDC, mark my word on that one. In fact, it is likely against the constitution.
Ironically, at least for now, the Fed is actually enhanced by the advancement of stablecoins since they are USD denominated. It allows for more money creation when it is sorely needed without having to rely upon the banks lending.
As for the digital Euro, the goal is control and power. That is the only reason I can see.
This made me curious. Because of this, wouldn't the Fed try to control the stablecoins next? And if offering their own stablecoin is against the constitution, can't they find a loophole and try to go around that to get more control?
