https://twitter.com/RyanSAdams/status/1570774337254461446 Okay, I am kidding here, but what does the government try to offer of such a "First-Ever" framework then?
The framework layouts the 7 areas to be considered: Protecting Consumers, Investors, and Businesses Promoting Access to Safe, Affordable Financial Services Fostering Financial Stability Advancing Responsible Innovation Reinforcing Our Global Financial Leadership and Competitiveness Fighting Illicit Finance Exploring a U.S. Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) Let's dive in and see how the government really tries to accomplish here: **Protecting Consumers, Investors, and Businesses** This argument builds on top of centralized entities. Rather than hunting criminals, the government should provide education on crypto to the general public and catch up on regulations on centralized digital asset companies. **Promoting Access to Safe, Affordable Financial Services** The government needs to promote innovation that makes financial services affordable. **Fostering Financial Stability** The government should provide clear distinguishment between centralization and decentralization. **Advancing Responsible Innovation** To make innovation accountable, the government needs to be self-accountable first.
