State generated currency formats are by definition not cryptocurrency. This is just as much of a problem if not more for established banks who are the en ies actually handling most financial transactions.
History was made and not a peep on Spurstalk?
......i don't think so....
Federal Reserve launches FedNow instant payment service that could bypass Venmo and PayPal
Source: NBC News
Read more: https://www.nbcnews.com/business/con...mo-p-rcna95380The U.S. Federal Reserve has launched a long-awaited service which will aim to modernize the country’s payment system by eventually allowing everyday Americans to send and receive funds in seconds, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, the central bank announced on Thursday.
The “FedNow” service, which has been in the works since 2019, will seek to eliminate the several-day lag it commonly takes cash transfers to settle, bringing the U.S. in line with countries including the United Kingdom, India, Brazil, as well as the European Union, where similar services have existed for years.
FedNow is launching with 41 banks and 15 service providers certified to use the service, including community banks and large lenders like JPMorgan Chase, Bank of New York Mellon, and US Bancorp, but the Fed plans to onboard more banks and credit unions this year. The Fed said on Thursday in a statement that 35 banks and credit unions were currently utilizing the service, as well as the Treasury Department’s Bureau of Fiscal Service.
The service will compete with private sector real-time payments systems, including The Clearing House’s RTP network, and was initially opposed by big banks who said it was redundant. But many have since agreed to participate on the basis FedNow will allow them to expand the services they can offer clients.
let the games begin!

.....maybe not.....but sure smells like a crypto
it's going to have to better than ripple, or ADA...cardano or any of the other crytos like Stellar that do transactions more securely and cheaper.....
how do you suppose they will do that?
seems like venmo and paypal which they are mostly modeled on. Those are not crypto either.
....but those services backup their transfers...not so on the FEDNOW system
transfers...fraudulent or not, are permanent
like crypto
that is not what makes a cryptocurrency. a cryptocurrency is a digital currency from a decentralized source that uses cryptography to secure transactions.
the finality of a transaction is irrelevant. you are handwaving at how hash algorithms work in blockchain, and missing the point. the feds do not act as an intermediary like venmo/paypal. They are not the same mechanism.
The Fed has made it no secret that it is perusing a CBDC. You think the Fed gonna be happy once ADA or XRP do these transactions with proof of stake, or more secure and with assurances Fednow ,or it future version of CBDC, can provide?that is not what makes a cryptocurrency. a cryptocurrency is a digital currency from a decentralized source that uses cryptography to secure transactions.
.......its starting to make sense why the SEC targeted Ripple and why in in latest filings it also labeled Cardano as a security
now you've switched the subject.
this is not CBDC either so who cares? I should've known this was at core a conspira take.
So the Federal Government decided to put in an instant pay system....that's your take?
They did put one in.
Everything is a conspiracy to you. I have no interest in entertaining this one too.
You have never proven me wrong and that gets to you. Makes me happy
you have become pompous. Lazy
and now we have megalomania. shocking.
Facts are facts
This isn’t cryptocurrency
Financial ins utions are involved but no mention of related fees which I am sure exist as banks are vampires.
it's a hook.....the only way for Fednow to compete with ripple, cardano or stellar is to eventually become a cryptocurrency to keep transaction speeds fast, secure and cost effective.....the government could care less about helping the little guy by taking bank profits and creating a instant pay system
I am sure there will be tranactions fees but they will be much lower than the fees you currently pay now...that and instant pay days are the hook.....
Nope. There’s no need for it to become crypto
The fed says that they will not implement a state run digital currency unless there is a bill specifically telling them to.
https://www.federalreserve.gov/cbdc-faqs.htmThe Federal Reserve issued Money and Payments: The U.S. Dollar in the Age of Digital Transformation as a first step in fostering a broad and transparent public dialogue about CBDCs in general, and about the potential benefits and risks of a U.S. CBDC. The paper is not intended to advance any specific policy outcome and no decisions have been made at this time. The Federal Reserve has made no decision on issuing a central bank digital currency (CBDC) and would only proceed with the issuance of a CBDC with an authorizing law. Testifying before the House Financial Services Committee in March 2023, Chair Powell said a central bank digital currency is, “something we would certainly need Congressional approval for.”
Let me know when the bill is passed. Unfortunately at that point it won't be a conspiracy but at least it would make sense.
So.....you trust the fed now?The fed says that they will not implement a state run digital currency unless there is a bill specifically telling them to.
really? so the fed is just gonna let those fees go? I have no problem with the fed collecting fees but the fees for crypto will be much cheaper than what the Fed plans to charge using the Fednow system...i believe it is set at 0.045 a transaction....well above the cost per transaction for ripple, cardano or stelllar
Not so much the fed but how the courts and legislature work in reference to the fed and understanding how a conspiracy at that level would have to work.
I get that you want a simple explanation for why society works as it does. Most who go that route go with magic sky man. You go with conspiracies.
Who is letting everything go? They are charging the banks per transaction. Where does the need for crypto come in?
LOL cryptobros gonna prove that nine lebbin was an inside job because building sebin.
Sounds like the Fed is normalizing to other banks, now they have a more instantaneous procedure.
