Crypto enthusiasts and members of the financial industry are eagerly awaiting the Fed's research, which was initially slated to be released over the summer, for hints on where policymakers stand on whether the United States should issue a CBDC. Powell said on Wednesday that no decision has been made and that the priority is for the U.S. payments system to remain "stable and trustworthy." "We're working proactively to evaluate whether to issue a CBDC and, if so, in what form," Powell said in a news conference following the conclusion of the U.S. central bank's latest two-day policy meeting.

The Bank of Canada is considering issuing its own digital currency in competition with bitcoin (BTC), seven years after the bank quietly killed a similar initiative by the Royal Canadian Mint, according to Blacklock's Reporter . "A central bank digital currency could be necessary in the future to ensure a competitive digital economy," researchers wrote in a report, The Positive Case For A CBDC . The bank called BTC "a novelty for a small number of enthusiasts in Canada" – fewer than 10% of Canadians own it – but warned if widely adopted it would be "out of reach for Canadian regulators."
