Can Crypto Survive FedNow’s Emergence In The Face Of CBDCs?




Scheduled to launch by July 2023, FedNow vastly improves upon traditional interbank settlement systems like FedWire or ACH systems. It offers superior costs, scale, features, and intraday finality. Put simply, FedNow almost completely obviates the need for a US central bank digital currency (CBDC). But what does this mean for Cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin and Ethereum) and stablecoins?

The United States Federal Reserve recently announced the introduction of FedNow, its real-time payment system. This move by the Fed has triggered concerns about the future of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and their viability in the U.S. market.

CBDCs are digital versions of fiat currency that are backed by central banks and are expected to offer various benefits such as faster, cheaper, and more transparent payments. However, the emergence of FedNow may extinguish the need for such currencies in the U.S. market.

One of the primary drivers of CBDCs is the evolution of cryptocurrencies, which have brought about a new era of decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms. Cryptocurrencies offer immediate transactions with minimal fees, providing a more efficient alternative to traditional money transfers.

However, cryptocurrencies have long faced the challenge of adoption, with limited access and regulatory hurdles in various countries. Moreover, they still suffer from the stigma of being associated with illicit activities and money laundering.

The arrival of FedNow, the first new payment system in the US since the introduction of the ACH (Automated Clearing House) network in the 1970s, could deal a fatal blow to CBDCs. FedNow aims to deliver instant and secure payments, effectively competing with private sector cryptocurrencies and CBDCs.

The Fed’s announcement has come at a time when many countries are still exploring CBDCs. China has taken the lead in the development of its digital yuan, and other countries, including Sweden, Japan, and Canada, have also initiated CBDC pilot programs. However, with the launch of FedNow, the US may no longer need to develop its own CBDC.

The impact of FedNow on cryptocurrencies remains uncertain. While CBDCs compete with cryptocurrencies for adoption, decentralized cryptocurrencies offer advantages like anonymity and independence from government control, which CBDCs cannot offer.

A dramatic shift towards CBDCs or cryptocurrencies remains unlikely given the vast economies of scale present in the traditional financial system, where banks and other institutions hold enormous amounts of money. However, the Fed’s introduction of instant payments may initiate significant changes in the traditional financial industry.

In conclusion, the introduction of FedNow has raised questions about the need for CBDCs in the US market, particularly as the Fed’s new payment system provides fast and secure transactions. However, the impact of FedNow on cryptocurrencies remains uncertain, as cryptocurrencies offer advantages that CBDCs cannot match. As the adoption of digital currencies continues to grow, time will tell which options will ultimately be preferred by consumers and businesses alike.

  10. Bruce Campbell

    Not an even playing field. It is not considered wise to fight the FED. They are the regional tax authority. Monopoly will always seek to subvert or destroy competition. The safest crypto with the least volatility and best liquidity which can also hedge against the inflation of local currency has just been introduced by the IMF. Called the UNICOIN or UMU it will work hand in hand with the FedNow role out. Without fanfare. Obliterating many of the charms of private crypto. Which is substantially more speculative.

  11. B-rad -

    We have already seen abuses take place with companies like Paypal…imposing fines, freezing accounts, or just straight up stealing people’s money. What happens with FedNow where they can do all this and more? And FedNow is backed by men with guns!?

  12. Carmelita Boomer

    FedNow Service is the train track and the CBDC is the train. The world is heading to "One World Controlled Currency" goodbye "freedom!"

  24. Anders

    $25 per month, that sounds pretty expensive for FedNow. PayPal has zero cost per months and "PayPal charges 2.99% of the total transaction amount when sending or receiving money in exchange for goods and services. This is free, or 0%, for consumer-to-consumer transactions."

  25. Katbaloo

    They are not very transparent …. that says a lot. What is it running on? ETH? After 1929 , 1970s, 2008 & all the shenanigans that went on …what did they expect people to do? Nobody wants to be manipulated again.

  26. Extol 4000

    The government can’t even track IT’S OWN MONEY; that’s why they have to print so much. There’s NO WAY I’m trusting a government that has HORRIBLE money management skills to handle my transactions.

  27. Randy Jones

    FedNow does nothing to fix the problems of the fiat system that led to the creation of Bitcoin. These people in government keep acting like the only problem with the existing system is ease of payments. FedNow takes all the worst aspects of the existing fiat system and amplifies them. It makes it even easier to debase the dollar and lock the accounts of private citizens who have the "wrong opinions". You now have zero privacy and zero recourse if the system decides you are a naughty person who should be canceled. If anything, the implementation of FedNow and the elimination of cash makes the need for Bitcoin even greater

  28. ShamelesCampR559

    Better off. Just hold all your crypto Inside a ledger and not in an exchange. Never do that… Did we not learn anything from FTX?

  29. very grateful

    I’m curious if they could make the option to have a personal wallet like btc?

  30. cash in cash out

    It's not to destroy crypto it's to replace stables

  31. Elizabeth Murray

    FedNow is precursor to CBDC…same

  32. Duane Bartlett

    $100 000 max, so it shouldnt compete with XRP which is for larger payments for banks and businesses.

  33. Ali

    Lol Uncle Sam not playing

  34. James Bond

    Just make the Elites and drug dealers us FedNow and that will solve the money laundering issue. I don’t have money to launder…let alone money at all

  35. English communication with Kevin

    they have advance technology could create Fednow 10 y-15 ears ago, why now? Because they see the rising of crypto withou them?

  36. Thomas Carlton

    They are gonna tax us on this, plus these corrupt weirdos are so keen on seeing everything we do. Since when did we say we wanted 24/7 surveillance?
    Are the feds behind ftx and trying to invalidate crypto so they can control us?
