Portfolio Pulse from Benzinga Neuro
The Republican party is pushing for legislation to prevent the launch of a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) in the United States. The House Financial Services Committee debated three bills aimed at limiting the Federal Reserve's power to create a CBDC. Concerns around the CBDC include its potential impact on traditional banking and the risk of it outcompeting the stablecoin market. Democrats, however, are advocating for continued research into the CBDC. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) was trading at $26,584, up 1.32% in the last 24 hours.
