Ex-President Donald Trump, a leading Republican candidate, vows to prohibit the introduction of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) in the U.S., emphasizing concerns over federal control. Addressing a New Hampshire crowd, Trump promises to safeguard financial freedom from government overreach. This stance marks a significant shift from his previous crypto skepticism, as he now holds over $5 million in ether and has launched NFT collections. The move aligns with increasing crypto-centric rhetoric in the U.S. political landscape, with rivals like Ron DeSantis also opposing CBDCs.
