The Digital Dollar Project, a non-neutral, non-profit forum focused on exploring digital innovation in money and future-proofing the U.S. dollar, has called for the modernization of the networks surrounding the currency to preserve its current status.

In its recently published white paper, the project remarks that while the dollar is still peerless in its role, it moves on top of technology reaching obsolescence in an increasingly digital world.

The organization envisions a future when not one, but many dollar-linked digital alternatives combine to keep the dollar relevant both in retail transactions as well as in international trade settlements. Among these are tokenized deposits, stablecoins, foreign CBDCs, and centralized and decentralized digital assets, with each serving different use cases in a better way.

Note that the project does not promote a dollar the establishment of a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) in the U.S., as it has been rejected by the current administration in the “Strengthening American Leadership In Digital Financial Technology” executive order.

The document, issued in January, states that the Trump administration will be “taking measures to protect Americans from the risks of Central Bank Digital Currencies, which threaten the stability of the financial system.”

Cristopher Giancarlo, former chairman of the United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and co-founder of the Digital Dollar Project, highlighted the dollar’s obsolescence problem as new instruments rise. “Examination and exploration of US dollar modernization is critical to America’s ability to compete in the global economy of the digitally networked twenty-first century,” he assessed.

The project also calls to re-assess all the impediments that surround today’s use of the dollar, reasserting “the values of freedom of movement – free from undue surveillance,
censorship, and control whether by governments, banks or technology platforms.”
