CBDC Criticism from Former SEC Official

Stark made a criticism of CBDCs in a post from his official Twitter account on July 4th. He asserted that CBDCs essentially do not solve any problem, emphasizing the need to answer the question, “Why do we need a CBDC?” He also indicated that there are already a number of digital currencies that work incredibly well, regulated and monitored by government officials, FDIC or SIPC insured, and managed by US-registered financial institutions. 

Stark criticized some politicians for failing to understand that crypto is not innovative: 

Firstly, like crypto and stablecoins, you should start by answering the question of what problem does a CBDC really solve? Why do we need a CBDC? There’s no answer to this question.

The former SEC official targeted CBDCs with a lengthy post on his official Twitter account, stating that CBDCs carry countless risks, potentially affecting the market structure of the finance sector, and raising significant policy issues for the safety and stability of the financial system. 

Former SEC Official Targets Cryptocurrencies

In his Twitter post criticizing CBDCs, Stark also targeted cryptocurrencies, making a brief comparison between banks and crypto companies and stating that the crypto ecosystem is insecure and dangerous: 

Crypto enthusiasts will undoubtedly claim that the same risks that exist for crypto are also present in banks. After all, think about the recent bankruptcies of Signature, SVB, Republic, and other regional banks. But to see whether this argument really holds up, compare banks to crypto companies. Banks are heavily regulated and depositors generally have a wide range of proven and tested protections.

Stark pointed out that banks are heavily regulated and monitored, but the situation is completely different for crypto companies, drawing attention to potential risks: 

On the contrary, in crypto companies there’s no insurance, no regulatory oversight, no consumer protection, no audit, no license, no mandatory cybersecurity standards, no trustees, no segregation of customer assets, no rules against insider trading or market manipulation – there’s no traditional protection at all – making the entire crypto ecosystem not only insecure and dangerous, but also easily susceptible to scams, fraud, and deceit.
