Its partners were Sam Cazemian, co-founder of Everipedia (a blockchain competitor to Wikipedia) and former adviser to the Reagan administration Ralph Benko.

“I have been studying monetary policy for 30 years. The monopoly of the government on money has always perplexed me – this is an unhealthy market. If private competitors can challenge central banks, this will be a normal market , ”he said, admitting that he professes libertarian views.

Frax will be pegged to the US dollar in a 1: 1 ratio, however, reserves will be used to issue loans under the control of a number of algorithms. Moore, whom Donald Trump has nominated to the Board of Governors of the Fed, will not abandon the concept of partial reservation.
