Congresswoman Júlia Zanatta has stood out for her critical stance regarding Drex, the digital currency of the Central Bank of Brazil (CBDC). She is the author of Bill No. 3,341/2024, which proposes the prohibition of the extinction of paper money in favor of a digital currency. Zanatta argues that physical money is essential to guarantee the economic freedom of citizens, especially those who do not have access to digital technologies.

In addition, the parliamentarian expressed concerns regarding Drex, arguing that the digital currency could pose a threat to the economic freedom of Brazilians. She warns that Drex could be used to monitor financial transactions, impose restrictions and even geolocate operations, which, according to her, would open the way for increased state surveillance and possible limitations on individual spending.

Zanatta has been an active voice in the anti-Drex movement, highlighting the risks that a state-controlled digital currency could pose to citizens' privacy and financial autonomy.#BTCNextATH? $BTC
