Fed's Waller: Stablecoins could bring benefits to financial system
Nov 12, 2024 8:57 AM

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller said Tuesday stablecoins are effectively "synthetic" dollars that can bring benefits to the financial system.

Waller said these digital assets linked to the dollar "could have a lot of potential benefits" and "eliminate" inefficiencies in the financial system, as part of comments before The Clearing House Annual Conference 2024, held in New York. But he said legislation is needed to deal with safety issues as these types of assets are subject to runs that could destabilize the financial system.

In the 12 months through June, the CPI jumped 5.4 percent. That was the largest gain since August 2008 and followed a 5.0 percent increase in May. "June's CPI numbers looked scary, but once again, we see that it was mainly temporary price increases that pumped up the figures," said Robert Frick, corporate economist with Navy Federal Credit Union in Vienna, Virginia. "Overall, this report is consistent with inflation cooling off later this year."
