$ETH Trump spoke out against the creation of a "digital dollar" in the USA and compared it to the Brazilian "Drex":
US President Donald Trump expressed his opposition to the creation of a "digital dollar" and deemed it "very dangerous". In his opinion, this currency could allow the government to control people's money, which could lead to it suddenly disappearing from accounts.
Trump's statement comes at a time when the Brazilian Central Bank is developing the digital Real, known as Drex. Some Brazilian parliamentarians, such as Congresswoman Júlia Zanatta, also spoke out against the creation of this digital currency, arguing that it could give the state near-total control over financial transactions.
However, it is important to note that Trump is not against all forms of digital currencies. He recently launched his own cryptocurrency, $Trump, whose value skyrocketed in the first days of trading.
