A public comment period on the paper is still open and extends to May 20.<\/p>\n<p>The Fed said that its initial analysis had concluded that a US CBDC should be \u201cprivacy-protected, intermediated, widely transferable and identity-verified\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>This appears to rule out the prospect of US citizens holding digital currency accounts directly with the central bank.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, under the Fed\u2019s plans, CBDC holders would have accounts with regulated intermediaries, such as banks or non-bank service providers, which would provide payment services. CBDC holders would therefore have to provide identity information to those intermediaries.<\/p>\n<p>By contrast, today\u2019s eCash bill would mandate the Treasury to develop a form of digital currency that includes full anonymity, privacy, and minimal generation of data from transactions.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Today\u2019s eCash bill would mandate the Treasury to develop a digital currency that includes full anonymity, privacy, and minimal generation of data from transactions<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>At least two of the technologies selected for a pilot programme that would commence on the passage of the Bill would be based on secured hardware-based architectures that do not involve any common or distributed ledger, the draft legislation says.<\/p>\n<p>One of those would include a stored-value magnetic or pin card option for storage and payment, and at least one must include a cell phone or SIM card option for storage and payment, it goes on.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why the US Treasury should issue the digital $<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to Rohan Grey, assistant professor at Willamette University College of Law, the US Treasury is the public body best suited to issue a digital version of the dollar.<\/p>\n<p>Grey was <a href=\"https:\/\/newmoneyreview.com\/index.php\/2021\/07\/14\/keeping-the-dollar-public\/\">a 2021 guest on the <em>New Money Review<\/em> podcast<\/a>, where he called for national legislatures to take a more active role in the design of digital currencies.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe Fed, by its own admission, doesn\u2019t have the institutional competency to do retail services directly\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe Fed has clearly indicated that its vision of a CBDC would not be 1) anonymous, 2) bearer instrument, 3) provided directly to the public, 4) hardware-based,\u201d Grey told New Money Review.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat makes sense since the Fed is a central bank, and if you ask bankers what new technology can do, they&#8217;re going to say \u2018a better bank account\u2019.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy contrast, the Treasury has historically been responsible for issuing coins (Mint), paper currency (Bureau of Engraving and Printing) and pre-paid debit cards (Bureau of Fiscal Service), and eCash as a technology\/form of money has far more in common with those technologies than it does to, for example, FedAccounts (which are good and complementary to this proposal, not in opposition to it),\u201d Grey went on.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut more broadly, the Fed, by its own admission, doesn\u2019t have the institutional competency to do retail services directly, nor does it have the technical expertise or political mandate to make decisions on very difficult questions about how to balance civil liberties and law enforcement\/national security interests,\u201d Grey said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose questions are rightly left to Congress and the elected\/political executive branch\u2014that is, the President and the Treasury Secretary\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo put it another way, if the central banks had not already dominated the conversation and refracted our entire discourse through the lens of CBDCs, and someone said \u2018we should create a bearer instrument, hardware-based form of currency that has all the features of physical cash and is made available directly to the public with no intermediaries, which agency should take the lead?\u2019. The obvious answer would be the US Treasury,\u201d Grey said.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/eepurl.com\/du6eTr\">Sign up here<\/a> for the New Money Review newsletter<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/blubrry.com\/newmoneyreview\/\">Click here<\/a> for a full list of episodes of the New Money Review podcast: the future of money in 30 minutes<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Related content from\u00a0<em>New Money Review<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/newmoneyreview.com\/index.php\/2019\/12\/18\/how-india-leapfrogged-the-west-in-payments\/\">How India leapfrogged the West in payments<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/newmoneyreview.com\/index.php\/2019\/08\/14\/us-struggles-to-speed-up-payments\/\">US struggles to speed up payments<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/newmoneyreview.com\/index.php\/2020\/07\/07\/breaking-the-grip-of-the-platforms\/\">Breaking tech platforms&#8217; grip<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/newmoneyreview.com\/index.php\/2020\/06\/23\/rise-of-the-platforms\/\">Rise of the platforms<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/newmoneyreview.com\/index.php\/2021\/02\/17\/going-cashless\/\">Going cashless<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A group of US legislators wants the US Treasury to introduce a fully anonymous digital dollar, countering plans for the central bank to take the responsibility of digitising the national [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":6536,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1053,1026,1014,1011],"tags":[2139,1228,2037,2140,1237],"class_list":{"0":"post-6990","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-featured-1","8":"category-latest-slider","9":"category-payment","10":"category-value","11":"tag-ecash","12":"tag-federal-reserve","13":"tag-rohan-grey","14":"tag-stephen-lynch","15":"tag-us-treasury"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.3 -
