EXPLAINED: Why Trump-Challenger Ron DeSantis Hates CBDCs So Much
Portfolio Pulse from Mehab Qureshi
Florida Governor and U.S. Presidential hopeful Ron DeSantis has expressed strong opposition to the implementation of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) in the United States, citing concerns over government surveillance and control. DeSantis has previously called for a state-wide ban on CBDCs and signed a bill into law prohibiting their use in Florida. Despite his opposition to CBDCs, DeSantis has shown support for cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC), and has proposed the acceptance of cryptocurrencies for state fees in Florida.
