The U.S. House of Representatives passed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) without including a CBDC ban, which has caused dissatisfaction among hardline Republicans. According to Cointelegraph, the House passed the NDAA on Wednesday with a vote of 312-112, but the bill did not include the previously promised ban on central bank digital currencies (CBDC), leading to frustration among hardline Republicans. Congressman Keith Self stated on the X platform, "Conservatives were explicitly promised that strong anti-CBDC language would be included in the NDAA, but that promise was broken." Self had submitted an amendment on Tuesday requesting the inclusion of a CBDC ban, but the amendment did not progress and was not voted on in the House. In July, House Republican leadership had reached an agreement with hardliners in the party to include a CBDC ban in the defense spending bill in exchange for their support on three cryptocurrency bills. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene also criticized House Speaker Mike Johnson for failing to fulfill the promise. The bill has now been sent to the Senate, aiming to pass before the end of the year. Self stated he would continue to push for a CBDC ban in the next must-pass bill.
