Senator Rick Scott introduced a prohibition act seeking to bar U.S. financial service operators from interacting with China’s central bank digital currency (CBDC).
The so-called Chinese CBDC Prohibition Act would ban U.S. post offices, remittance firms, peer-to-peer crowdfunding platforming and all money services businesses from facilitating any transaction that involves China’s digital yuan.
Senators Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee and Ted Cruz of Texas backed the act with their support, stressing that this legislation was crucial to keeping American financial data safe.
