Republican Senators Introduce Legislation to Block CBDC in the US Over Privacy Concerns
Republican senators have introduced a new bill called "The CBDC Anti-Surveillance State Act" aimed at preventing the introduction of a central bank digital currency (CBDC) in the U.S. They argue that the Biden administration is eager to infringe on citizens' privacy by surveilling their personal spending habits. This is not the first time Republicans have tried to block the introduction of a CBDC. The Federal Reserve is currently only in the basic research phase and would require signoff from the White House and an authorizing bill from Congress before moving forward.
