Circle Submits Response to Federal Reserve's CBDC Discussion Paper

Circle Internet Financial has advocated for a national framework for issuing and managing dollar digital currencies and recently responded to the Federal Reserve's paper on a potential U.S. central bank digital currency (CBDC). In their comments, Circle argues that existing private-sector innovations, such as their stablecoin USDC, already provide the benefits a CBDC would aim to offer, without the associated risks. USDC is a regulated, fully-reserved digital currency backed by cash and short-term U.S. government obligations, maintaining price parity with the U.S. dollar. Circle suggests that a CBDC could hinder innovation, exacerbate issues of financial inclusion, destabilize the banking system, and introduce additional costs for the private sector. Additionally, Circle warns of potential privacy risks associated with CBDCs and questions whether the U.S. government is equipped to develop and maintain the necessary technology. They emphasize that USDC supports U.S. economic competitiveness and the dollar's role as a global reserve currency.
