Ron DeSantis is one of the most influential people in America’s political environment. Moreover, he is also the one who wants to ban CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency). Yes, you heard it right.
In one of his early appearances from campaigning, he stated,
“If I am the president, on one day, we’ll nix central bank digital currency. Done. Dead. Not happening in this country”.
That’s why, when the news of DeSantis ending his presidential run became viral on social media, many crypto enthusiasts celebrated.
But the celebrations are of no meaning. If it’s not Ron DeSantis, then there is Donald Trump. Like DeSantis, Trump is also against the creation of CBDC. His recent campaign speech in New Hampshire is the latest example.
