Who Should Issue Digital Dollars?
summary
Argues that issuance boils down to legal rights and rails not ideology: Fed controls final settlement so a U.S. digital dollar requires bank charters or new law, Wyoming creates a depository route, and Custodia sues the Fed to force access; private stablecoins like USDC is $50+ billion with reserves in U.S. banks and have powered trillions of dollars on public blockchains; China’s e‑CNY is live, and regulators estimate about $2 trillion migrated from bank deposits to crypto.
