🇺🇸 US CBDC BAN BECOMES LAW TODAY - Without Trump's Signature
The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act officially becomes law today, and buried inside it is a big one for crypto: the Federal Reserve is now barred from issuing a CBDC (digital dollar) through 2030.
Even after 2030, the Fed can't restart it without Congress signing off. It passed Senate 85-5 and House 358-32, then became law automatically after Trump declined to sign within the 10-day window.
What's a CBDC?
A government-controlled digital dollar: fully trackable, freezable, and programmable. The opposite of Bitcoin's permissionless design.
The real winners?
Private stablecoins (USDT/USDC): explicitly exempted, giving them a clear runway.
