Christopher Giancarlo, the former chair of the CFTC, also known as ‘Crypto Dad’ said the U.S. is resisting digitization of the dollar due to it being a threat to the country’s dominance over the traditional financial system. Central Bank Digital Currencies or CBDCs are the future of money and countries that resist innovation will become irrelevant in the global financial landscape, said Giancarlo who is also the founder of the Digital Dollar Project.
