Federal Lawmakers Move to Restrict Federal Reserve Digital Currency
NewsWK — Legislation designated as H.R. 10017, titled the Permanent CBDC Ban Act, has been introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives, according to public legislative records published by GovInfo.
The measure aims to permanently prevent the Federal Reserve from issuing a central bank digital currency (CBDC) or utilizing a digital dollar to control monetary policy. Opponents of central bank digital currencies express concern over government overreach, warning that federal digital fiat could allow centralized surveillance of private transactions, restrict financial freedom, and compromise the privacy of American consumers and business owners.
While proponents of government digital currencies argue they streamline electronic payments, conservative lawmakers and privacy advocates stress that protecting individual liberty and traditional private banking systems requires strict statutory prohibitions against state-controlled digital assets.
