United States presidential candidate and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has once again criticized central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), arguing against a digital dollar in the country.
Speaking at the Family Leadership Summit on July 14, DeSantis promised to ban CBDCs in the U.S. if elected president. “If I am the president, on day one, we will nix central bank digital currency. Done. Dead. Not happening in this country,” he said during the event in Iowa, which featured six other Republican Party candidates.
