Fed’s Waller ‘Not a Big Fan’ of Central Bank Digital Currencies

Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller is again pushing back on arguments that the US central bank should issue a digital dollar.

“It’s just a checking account at the Fed,” Waller said in remarks during the Money 20/20 conference in Las Vegas. “I’m not a big fan of it, but I’m open to having someone convince me that this is something that’s really valuable.”
