US presidential candidate and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis once again criticized the CBDC, opposing the introduction of a digital dollar in the country.
IN speech At the Family Leaders Summit, the politician promised to ban the CBDC if he wins the election:
“If I become president, on the first day we will abandon the digital currency of the central bank. Absolutely, absolutely. It won’t exist in this country.”
In May, the governor announced a CBDC ban in the state. He specified that the decision will also affect the assets of foreign securities. According to him, the use of such currencies will lead to “a transfer of power from consumers to the central government.”
In July, he signed the corresponding document.

In April, another US presidential candidate, Robert Francis Kennedy Jr., also criticized the CBDC. He called such means of payment “the highest mechanism of social monitoring and control.”
Recall that DeSantis said that he would protect bitcoin if he won the election.
