BREAKING: US OFFICIALLY BANS FED CBDC UNTIL 2030
The digital dollar is dead โ at least for the next four years.
Congress just passed the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act with an 85-5 Senate vote, which includes a provision that explicitly bans the Federal Reserve from issuing a CBDC or any "substantially similar" digital asset until December 31, 2030 .

๐ WHAT THE BAN ACTUALLY DOES
Provision Details
Direct Ban Fed cannot issue a CBDC directly
Indirect Ban Cannot issue through banks or intermediaries
Sunset Date December 31, 2030
Exemption Private, permissionless, privacy-preserving stablecoins are exempt

๐ WHY THIS MATTERS
Trump set the foundation with a January 2025 executive order banning CBDC work, calling it a threat to "financial stability, individual privacy, and U.S. sovereignty" .
New Fed Chair Kevin Warsh called a U.S. CBDC a "bad policy choice" during his confirmation hearing .
The message from Washington is clear: private crypto has a seat at the table โ the Fed's version of a digital dollar does not.

๐ THE BOTTOM LINE
