U.S. housing bill with CBDC ban through 2030 heads to Trump for signing Monday
House Speaker Mike Johnson said the measure includes a temporary ban on a U.S. central bank digital currency and is expected to become law after Trump previously refused to sign a related bill on June 24.
A U.S. housing bill that includes a temporary ban on a CBDC (central bank digital currency) until 2030 is set to be sent to Trump on Monday for his signature, House Speaker Mike Johnson said, according to Cointelegraph. The development follows a June 24 report that Trump had refused to sign a bill containing a U.S. CBDC ban while pressing for movement on election legislation. The inclusion of the restriction in a broader housing package suggests the issue remains active in Washington and could shape how the United States approaches any future government-issued digital dollar.
