The Fed Should 'Get Serious' About Crypto, Says Former FDIC Chair

The Federal Reserve should seriously consider its own crypto, the former head of the U.S. government's deposit insurance corporation wrote in an op-ed last week.

She warned:

"If it does not stay ahead of this technology, not only could banking be disrupted — but the Fed itself could also be at risk."
