President Trump has officially banned the creation of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) by signing an executive order.
US President Donald Trump recently signed an executive order banning the creation of a central bank digital currency (CBDC) in the United States. The decree also established a special working group to develop regulatory and policy frameworks in the field of digital currencies and related financial technologies. The group will be headed by David Sachs, special adviser on artificial intelligence and digital currencies, and with the participation of the Treasury Secretary and the Homeland Security Secretary.
The tasks of the group include reviewing existing regulatory frameworks, developing new guidelines and assessing the feasibility of establishing and maintaining a national repository of digital assets. The move is in line with Trump's election promises to support cryptocurrencies and promote their adoption. The decree also emphasizes the support and promotion of dollar-backed stablecoins globally, but prohibits the creation of CBDCs in the United States.
The decision is in contrast to the policies of the previous Joe Biden administration, which took strict measures against companies involved in cryptocurrencies. The formation of this working group could be an important step towards wider acceptance of digital currencies in the United States. #sanoor016Coomunity
