The bill that has gained the support of 50 co-sponsors seeks to prevent the federal government from issuing a CBDC that would enable the authorities to monitor and track the financial activities of Americans. 
Emmer stated that the Biden administration plans to compromise Americans’ financial privacy by introducing a CBDC allowing surveillance and control. He added that his bill is focused on safeguarding the rights of Americans to financial privacy.

The goal is to provide users with a secure and private digital payment option. 
Central banks are actively working on resolving critical policy and technical issues related to CBDC to ensure privacy protection. For example, the HKMA has established a CBDC Expert Group comprising distinguished academics who offer their privacy protection and cybersecurity expertise. This collaborative approach involving government, industry, and academia aims to develop robust privacy measures for CBDC.
