The US Appears in No Rush on CBDCs

This episode is sponsored by Nexo.io, Chainalysis and FTX US.

On today’s episode, NLW looks at the state of the U.S. discussion about a central bank digital currency. Based on statements from the Federal Reserve, members of Congress and others, does it look like the U.S. is headed towards a CBDC? In fact, NLW argues, it seems like there is a strong lack of urgency about a U.S. digital dollar.
