Fed Chair Powell says no CBDC

"….Senator Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) did manage to get a categoric statement out of the central bank head when he asked about Powell’s position on a U.S. dollar CBDC. “Can I have your commitment that as long as you're the chairman of the Federal Reserve System, that we will never have a central bank digital currency?” he asked.

“Yes,” Powell replied.

The Fed chair will appear before the House Financial Services Committee on Wednesday."
