Crypto Industry News:

The introduction of the central bank digital currency (CBDC) by the US authorities raises many controversies and fears among citizens, but also politicians. Many people openly oppose the introduction of this type of asset due to the fact that it will be directly controlled by the US Federal Reserve. This, in turn, gives the authorities direct access to control the movements of citizens, their spending and conduct in relation to their surveillance. Among the senators who do not hide their criticism of this idea is a representative of the Republicans - Ted Cruz.

On March 21, Senator Ted Cruz introduced a bill that seeks to block the introduction of a central bank digital currency by the Fed. The politician justifies his actions with the fear that the American central bank may use direct supervision of the digital dollar to spy on citizens.

His bill received support from Cruz's Republican colleagues. Senators Mike Braun of Indiana and Chuck Grassley of Iowa also oppose the introduction of the CBDC by the Federal Reserve. Both stated that they are deeply convinced that the digital dollar will become a tool for surveillance of citizens.

The fact that the scale of the problem regarding CBDC in the United States is really large is evidenced by the ever-growing number of politicians who oppose the Federal Reserve on this issue. Well, Cruz, Braun and Grassley aren't the only people with ties to the Senate to agree to block the process. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis also joined the protest.
