A potential CBDC rollout in the U.S. has become a policy position for a few presidential candidates running in 2024. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, the leading Republican Party candidate behind former U.S. President Donald Trump, said in July he planned to ban CBDCs if elected. Vivek Ramaswamy, another Republican candidate trailing behind DeSantis, has also criticized CBDCs, comparing the technology to China’s social credit system.


Some U.S. lawmakers have proposed different legislative approaches to tackling issues related to a CBDC rollout in the country, including limiting the Federal Reserve’s authority over issuing a digital dollar. Various U.S. states have also passed bills banning CBDCs as payment options, including Florida.
