What it does
The bill blocks the Federal Reserve from issuing a digital dollar to people, or using one to run monetary policy. It turns the current ban, which sits in an executive order, into law.
Why it matters
A central bank digital currency is money the government can watch and switch off. Writing the ban into statute makes it harder for the next administration to undo with a signature.
Our take
One of the few bills worth backing, and it has passed the House. The catch is that it only stops a Fed-run CBDC, not the private stablecoins that track you just as well.
