No CBDC In Florida, Asserts Pro-Crypto Governor
Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida, has pushed back against plans to float a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) in his state, describing it as President Biden’s administration’s way of “weaponization of the financial sector.”
In a statement on March 20, Mr Santos announced the introduction of a new legislative proposal aimed at protecting Floridians from a federally controlled CBDC by “prohibiting the use of a federally adopted Central Bank Digital Currency as money within the state.”
