Donald Trump Doubles Down on Opposition to Central Bank Digital Currencies at New Hampshire Rally

During a rally in New Hampshire, Donald Trump reiterated his opposition to central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), stating that he will never allow their creation. He referred to crypto-friendly candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, who recently suspended his campaign after a disappointing showing in Iowa. Trump has previously expressed concerns that a CBDC would give the federal government absolute control over people's money. With the suspension of Ramaswamy and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who also criticized CBDCs, digital assets may now take a back seat in the 2024 U.S. presidential race. However, voters in Florida have shown interest in the topic, according to a report by CoinDesk.
