As the regulatory environment in the United States gradually shifts to support digital assets, Federal Reserve Board member Christopher Waller addressed the banking industry and policymakers at the 2025 Wyoming Blockchain Symposium, saying, "DeFi is nothing to be afraid of." He emphasized that decentralized finance is merely a new technology for transactions and record-keeping, urging banks and regulators to work together to incorporate crypto payments and stablecoins into the mainstream financial system. Waller: DeFi is no different from everyday payments. In his speech, Waller compared using stablecoins to purchase meme coins with using a debit card to buy apples at a supermarket, pointing out that both are essentially the same: 1. Both are payments completed with digital currency 2. Both generate transaction records (receipts or decentralized ledgers) 3. Both are technological extensions of existing payment logic. He believes that smart contracts, tokenization, and decentralized ledgers are just new payment tools and do not pose a threat. Federal Reserve's regulatory stance shifts to support innovation.
