Federal Reserve detailed FooWire distributed ledger experiment designed to test whether the technology is suited for payments application.
The team built the system using Hyperledger Fabric, a popular DLT platform, because it generally met the team's design requirements of a closed network, mature technology, and enterprise readiness. The experiment highlighted the potential of DLT for certain payment uses, the quick speed with which a system could be implemented, the potential simplicity of smart contracts, and the range of functionality offered by such platforms. It further highlighted the need for more experimentation to better understand the possibilities for wide-scale adoption and use of any DLT platform for payments.

Trump Backs Off Powell Firing Threat, Signals Ongoing Fed Tension

President Donald Trump, who nominated Jerome Powell to lead the Federal Reserve in 2017, recently stated he has “no intention” of firing the central bank chair before his term ends in 2026. This marks a shift from Trump’s escalated rhetoric, where he hinted at the unprecedented step of ousting him over disagreements on interest rate policies. Trump’s push for lower rates to counter his tariff-driven economic agenda has clashed with Powell’s warnings of potential inflation and slower growth. Despite the de-escalation, which calmed markets, Trump’s continued pressure suggests the Fed’s independence remains under strain as he tests the limits of his influence.
Trump’s frustration centers on the Fed’s refusal to cut interest rates, which he says hinders growth.
Powell, whose term lasts until May 2026, has stressed the Fed’s independence. Removing him would require proving misconduct, a legal challenge no president has won. The move could test the Fed’s autonomy.
