Hard Asset Money Show Features Senator Bill Hagerty in a Direct Examination of Federal Reserve CBDC
SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO, November 25, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Hard Asset Money Show Features Senator Bill Hagerty in a Direct Examination of Federal Reserve CBDC Activity and Congressional Oversight
Episode reviews CBDC research, federal oversight, and congressional evaluation of emerging financial policy
An episode of the Hard Asset Money Show, originally released July 6, 2024, features an extended discussion between host Christian Briggs and United States Senator Bill Hagerty on emerging central bank digital currency research and the congressional process for reviewing developments within the Federal Reserve. At the time of the interview, Senator Hagerty served on three major committees: the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and the Senate Appropriations Committee.
During the conversation, Senator Hagerty acknowledged information brought forward by industry participants, including Briggs, that helped bring greater visibility to early CBDC-related concerns. Referring to those discussions, Senator Hagerty stated:
“The concern that you raised and I think you highlighted for me frankly, Christian. I didn’t realize that this had elevated to the point that it has in the polling.”
This exchange reflects the role that external subject-matter experts can play in informing congressional staff as they review evolving financial technologies. Senator Hagerty noted that the points raised by Briggs were among the inputs considered as committee offices assessed public awareness surrounding the Federal Reserve’s research.
