This means that the Federal Reserve would require authorization from Congress to implement a CBDC pilot program.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;This bill would prohibit the Federal Reserve from establishing, carrying out, or approving a program intended to test the practicability of issuing a CBDC.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Congressman Mooney corroborated the sentiment, adding that CBDCs would threaten the liberties of law-abiding Americans and are used by authoritarian countries to crack down on dissenting voices.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the bill has garnered support from 14 other Republican House members and several pro-crypto organizations like the Americans for Tax Reform and\u00a0American Blockchain Initiative.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #333333; font-size: 22px; font-weight: bold;\">Anti-CBDC rhetoric grows<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Since the beginning of the year, opposition to the digital dollar has grown, with several lawmakers like Senator Ted Cruz and Rep Tom Emmer <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/congressman-emmer-attacks-fdic-for-weaponizing-bank-closures-to-attack-crypto\/\">vocal antagonists<\/a> of the digital currency.<\/p>\n<p>On Feb. 22, Congressman Tom Emmer <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/rep-tom-emmer-introduces-anti-cbdc-bill\/\">introduced<\/a> a bill to prevent the U.S. Federal Reserve from providing a CBDC to individual retail users. The lawmaker explicitly stated that the legislation prohibits the Fed from issuing a CBDC directly to anyone.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, several U.S. states, like Florida and <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/north-carolina-joins-florida-in-passing-anti-cbdc-legislation\/\">North Carolina<\/a>,\u00a0have passed laws to ban the introduction of digital dollars or to prevent their issuance within their jurisdiction.<\/p>\n<p>On March 20, Florida Governor and Presidential hopeful Ron Desantos <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/north-carolina-joins-florida-in-passing-anti-cbdc-legislation\/\">described<\/a> CBDCs as the government's attempt to &#8220;weaponize&#8221; the financial sector. DeSantis <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/ron-desantis-promises-to-protect-bitcoin-and-oppose-a-cbdc-as-president\/\">reiterated<\/a> his anti-CBDC stand in his presidential campaign launch while touting Bitcoin (BTC).<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, Senator Elizabeth Warren <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/senator-warren-says-banks-have-done-really-bad-jobs-advocates-for-cbdcs-instead-of-bitcoin\/\">advocated<\/a> for CBDCs, arguing that they could help solve issues within the banking industry since the government would back them.
