Wt ik gemist had tot nu toe is dat ze ook in de USA bezig zijn met een eigen digitale munt, oneerbiedig de FedCoin genoemt.
Een beta-test is zelfs al begonnen, las ik in onderstaand artikel (in het engels, sorry)
Fedcoin: It Starts with a Trial Run
https://mises.org/power-market/fedcoin-it-starts-trial-run
The 12-week PoC (proof of concept) will test a version of the RLN design that operates exclusively in U.S. dollars where commercial banks issue simulated digital money or “tokens” – representing the deposits of their own customers – and settle through simulated central bank reserves on a shared multi-entity distributed ledger.
En ook een sneller betalingssysteem (vergelijkbaar met ons Swift-systeem?):
The US inches closer to a digital dollar–this will increase control over economy & political rivals for America’s elites.

The Federal Reserve is launching a new, faster payment system that will modernize how financial institutions move money. The 1970s Automated Clearing House (ACH) might soon find itself a dinosaur as the Fed launches
FedNow—a rapid system that the Wall Street Journal reports could set the stage for a digital dollar.
According to the WSJ, “The extent to which FedNow is successful could help determine whether the Fed decides to move forward with a central bank digital dollar over the coming years. Unlike private cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, a Fed-issued central bank digital currency would be backed by the U.S. central bank, just like the Fed backs physical currency.”
