An ‘Anti-CBDC Act’ is a legislative proposal designed to prevent or restrict the development and implementation of a Central Bank Digital Currency within a specific jurisdiction. Such legislation typically articulates concerns regarding privacy, financial surveillance, and the potential for government overreach through the introduction of a state-controlled digital currency. These acts aim to safeguard individual financial autonomy and preserve the decentralized nature of existing digital asset ecosystems.
Context
The discourse surrounding ‘Anti-CBDC Act’ proposals is currently active in various legislative bodies globally. These proposals reflect a growing apprehension among some policymakers and the public regarding the potential societal and economic implications of government-issued digital currencies. The debate often centers on balancing potential benefits of CBDCs, such as financial inclusion and payment efficiency, against risks to privacy and the existing financial architecture.
The House's move to embed a CBDC prohibition within market structure legislation mandates a re-evaluation of digital asset strategy and operational compliance.
