State issued digital assets are Imminent-Reckons Dash CEO, Ryan Taylor
|- Central bank-issued cryptocurrencies are inevitable but will take different forms.
- Dash is bullish above $150 while $161 resistance is within reach in the near-term.
Various central banks around the world have expressed interest in launching state-backed digital assets. Countries like India and Kazakhstan are currently toying with the idea of launching central bank issued cryptocurrencies. In fact, Venezuela has already launched its own crypto called Petro. The token is backed by the country’s vast oil reserves. However, other nations around the world and their central banks prefer to stay away the subject of virtual assets.
In a recent interview with Cointelegraph, the chief executive officer of Dash Core Group, Ryan Taylor said that central bank-backed digital assets are an “inevitable future” although it is up to the people to choose the form which money is supposed to take. During the Money 20/20 conference, Taylor told Cointelegraph that central bank issued virtual currencies have advantages both to the countries and the citizens. However, what is not clear is the form the digital assets will take: Taylor stated:
“Free market can ultimately design the better money than the government,” he added, “I do think it’s inevitable. They [governments] all are going — through either competitors’ pressure or through their own desires — to launch their own cryptocurrencies. But I don’t think it is where the greatest innovations will occur.”
Dash Core Group CEO believes that governments around the world are going to start regulating the crypto space soon. He reckons that the US is likely to do so as soon as next year.
