News Date: April 14, 2025

Utah state Rep. Ken Ivory is spearheading a groundbreaking effort to allow vendors to receive payments in gold and silver through a digital platform backed by physical metals. Speaking on the John Solomon Reports podcast, Ivory expressed optimism about overriding Gov. Spencer Cox’s veto of the bill, noting that the state House has already approved a veto override session. This legislative momentum underscores Utah’s commitment to exploring innovative financial systems rooted in constitutional principles.
Ivory emphasized Article I, Section 10 of the U.S. Constitution, which declares, “No State shall... make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts.” He argued that this clause supports the bill’s importance, calling gold and silver “constitutional money.” The proposed system would be voluntary, using digital delivery to modernize the use of precious metals without violating federal law or the Constitution’s ban on fiat currency.
In a parallel move, Texas lawmakers have introduced bills to create a gold-backed digital currency, signaling a broader trend among states to align financial innovation with constitutional intent. Ivory highlighted the urgency of Utah’s initiative, positioning it as a potential model for blending historical monetary standards with 21st-century technology. As both states advance, they may pave the way for a new era of trusted, metal-backed digital payments.

Trump Allies Target Fed's Independence: WSJ

Some members of Trump's team are devising plans to restructure the Federal Reserve, which could grant the president direct influence over interest rate decisions and potentially remove the current Fed Chair, Jerome Powell, from office before his term ends in 2026.
This move is part of a broader strategy by Trump's allies to diminish the Federal Reserve's independence if he secures a second term, amidst internal disagreements among his advisers on how forcefully to challenge the central bank's authority.

This effort follows the federal government's actions in 2020, during Trump's tenure, where large portions of the financial markets were nationalized, with the Federal Reserve providing the necessary funds.
Notably, BlackRock was entrusted with executing the trades, effectively merging the Federal Reserve and Treasury into a singular entity.
