Isn't FedNow separate from CBDC proposals? Some overlap in purpose but different in function.

Potato or po-tato.

FedNow is the solution the Federal Reserve is proposing for a "digital dollar". It will only be used for inter-bank settlements.


FedNow seems to lack some of the juicier potential features of CBDCs, like negative interest rates for individuals in the same way a bank might have on it's account with a central bank.
