Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, a potential presidential candidate in 2024, has called for a state-wide ban on central bank digital currency (CBDC). He opined that the Biden administration’s CBDC push is about surveillance and control.
In a press release, DeSantis said:
“Today’s announcement will protect Florida consumers and businesses from the reckless adoption of a ‘centralized digital dollar’ which will stifle innovation and promote government-sanctioned surveillance.”
DeSantis stated that he hoped to have CBDC legislation on his desk for approval by 2023. In a press conference on 20 March, DeSantis raised the issue of Fed issuing and controlling a CBDC in U.S.
