Leaders of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives have reached an agreement on a comprehensive housing bill, incorporating a provision in the updated *21st Century ROAD to Housing Act* that bans the issuance of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). The bill explicitly prohibits the Federal Reserve from issuing or creating CBDCs or any digital assets 'substantially similar' to them, with the ban lasting until December 31, 2030. While it's uncommon to attach anti-CBDC provisions to a housing bill, this reflects the legislative strategy pushed by House Republicans, and the current Trump administration also holds a firm stance against CBDCs.
