CBDCs banned until 2030: The US Congress buries the digital dollar in a housing bill!

The US Congress just sealed the fate of CBDCs until 2030 by banning them through a housing bill. A surprising move, where Trump, the Republicans, and even some Democrats joined forces. But who are they really afraid of? And why now?

In brief

CBDCs banned in the US until 2030 under the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act.

A bipartisan compromise (Warren, Hill) to block the Fed's digital currency.

Fear of monetary manipulation or a technological lag against China?

The ban on CBDCs, a bipartisan win in a housing bill…

Ironically, it's in a real estate bill, the "21st Century ROAD to Housing Act", where Congress placed a political bomb: the prohibition for the Fed to create a CBDC until December 31, 2030. Driven by figures like Tim Scott (R-S.C.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), French Hill (R-Ark.), and Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), this text reflects a rare bipartisan agreement in a divided America.

The bill, aimed at increasing the supply of affordable housing and limiting the influence of investment funds in the real estate market, served as a Trojan horse for CBDC opponents. A classic legislative strategy… attaching a controversial measure to a "must-pass" bill. What’s the outcome? The Fed is left handcuffed for almost 5 years, while private cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin get to breathe... for now.
