Fed's Waller speaking

  • still skeptical about the need for central bank digital currency given the real and rapid innovation taking place in payments
  • regulations could include measures to ensure the stable can it reserve is maintained as advertised
  • disagrees with the notion that the stable point issuance can or should only be conducted by banks simply because of the nature of the liability
  • stable can and should not necessarily be subject to the full banking rulebook, which is geared in part toward lending activities not payments
