Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has pushed a platform based partly on “economic independence” in his 2024 presidential campaign, specifically taking a stance on digital currencies.
Speaking at a campaign event in New Hampshire on July 31, DeSantis reiterated his plans of banning central bank digital currencies, or CBDCs, should he win the Republican nomination and presidential race and take office in 2025. The Florida governor added he planned to end U.S. President Joe Biden’s “war on Bitcoin and cryptocurrency” should he win the presidency.
