This amendment would prohibit Federal Reserve banks from offering specific products or services directly to individuals.&nbsp;It also includes provisions that restrict the use of CBDCs for monetary policy purposes and other unspecified objectives.The proposed amendment states, "A Federal Reserve bank shall not offer a central bank digital currency, or any digital asset that is substantially similar under any other name or label, indirectly to an individual through a financial institution or other intermediary."<h2 id="cbdc-becomes-a-point-of-debate-among-presidential-candidates">CBDC Becomes a Point of Debate Among Presidential Candidates&nbsp;</h2>The potential implementation of a digital dollar has generated a mix of opinions within the United States. Notably, presidential candidates Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Ron DeSantis have <a href="https://cryptonews.com/news/presidential-candidate-robert-f-kennedy-jr-praises-blockchain-technology-says-right-use-hold-bitcoin-will-inviolable-if-elected.htm">publicly expressed concerns</a> about the establishment of a CBDC, citing apprehensions regarding financial privacy.On the other hand, proponents of CBDCs argue that they could strengthen the position of the US dollar on the global stage and further foster the adoption of cryptocurrencies.&nbsp;Over a 100 countries are currently working on CBDC projects in some capacity. China has already successfully piloted its digital yuan in many cities.&nbsp;
