Regulated Digital Dollar

Definition

A regulated digital dollar refers to a digital currency that represents the United States dollar and operates under a specific regulatory framework. This could include a central bank digital currency (CBDC) issued by the Federal Reserve or a privately issued stablecoin subject to strict oversight. The objective is to combine the efficiency of digital payments with the stability and consumer protections of traditional fiat currency. Such an asset would aim for parity with the physical dollar, backed by reserves and subject to audit.
