According to Coin Desk, former U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Chairman Timothy Massad stated that despite Trump's public commitment to oppose central bank digital currencies (CBDC) and government-backed stablecoins, the U.S. may ultimately launch a government-supported on-chain digital dollar scheme driven by the global development of tokenized finance.
Massad mentioned that the White House is conducting closed-door research on the relevant infrastructure, and the U.S. has also participated in the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) Project Agora. Mark Gould, head of payment services at the Federal Reserve, stated that a digital dollar is currently not within the Federal Reserve's responsibilities, but if a government-supported digital dollar is launched, it will be the responsibility of the Federal Reserve.
