Former US CFTC Chairman says digital dollar is "inevitable," the US is quietly participating in CBDC infrastructure development.

ME News: On May 20 (UTC+8), former CFTC Chairman Timothy Massad stated that despite the Trump administration's public opposition to central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and government-backed stablecoins, the launch of a digital dollar or government-supported stablecoin in the U.S. is "ultimately inevitable." He said the White House has already held closed-door discussions on relevant plans, and the U.S. has also participated in Project Agora, led by the BIS and involving seven central banks, to explore CBDC-style settlement infrastructure. Mark Gould, head of payments at the Federal Reserve, said the digital dollar is currently "outside its purview," but acknowledged that once launched, the Fed would be responsible for it. Massad believes that the global trend of tokenizing assets and settlement on-chain will force the U.S. to establish an official on-chain settlement alternative, so as not to lose its competitive edge against Europe.
