A Regulated Settlement Network |

A Regulated Settlement Network is the practical use of tokenized deposits, wholesale Central Bank money, U.S. Treasuries and other tokenized assets.

This project is being done on a shared ledger as part of the Regulated Settlement Network (RSN).

“Citi, J.P. Morgan, Mastercard, Swift, TD Bank N.A., U.S. Bank, USDF, Wells Fargo, Visa, and Zions Bancorp are participating in this pilot program.”

The goal is to test payment settlements on a common regulated network. It is to witness the efficiency of coordinating existing laws through the use of simulating USD delivery versus payment transactions.

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York will be assessing this DLT Digital Ledger Technology System for incorporation inside the new digital economy. Ledgerinsights

Will Central Bank Digital Currencies Undermine Gold’s Value? | Oil Price

CBDCs pose a threat to gold’s traditional role as a store of value and hedge against inflation due to their potential for increased centralization and control over individual finances.

As CBDCs are rolled out and cash is phased out, gold and silver may emerge as the primary means of transacting outside the centralized digital currency system, leading to a potential surge in their value.

Legislators are divided on the issue, with some recognizing the threat posed by CBDCs and advocating for the protection of precious metals holders, while others believe CBDCs may become inevitable despite concerns about individual freedoms and financial privacy.

Currently, we have regulations taking place for Stablecoins, Tokenized Assets, and a Regulated Settlement System.

Think of this as paying for assets to go into your portfolio (Tokenized Assets) inside of a Banking System capable of making transactions (Settlement System) for you with the Dollar (soon to be XRP Stablecoin).

The entire QFS is now currently going through the Regulation process as we speak.
