What’s new? The US Federal Reserve System (Fed) Chairman Jerome Powell addressed the Senate Banking Committee on January 11. In his speech, he answered the questions about the stablecoins and CBDCs and also touched on the topic of the high inflation, Blockworks reports.
What did Powell say about the CBDCs and stablecoins? The lawmakers wanted to know if anything would be able to prevent the coexistence of the digital dollar and stablecoins. To which Powell replied:
“Nothing can prevent the coexistence of privately regulated digital assets [stablecoins] and the digital dollar.”
What else did the Fed representative add? Powell also said that a report on digital currencies will be released soon. He said the report's delay was due to the monetary policy adjustments.
