The U.S. Senate has passed a bill that aims to prohibit the issuance of CBDCs, with the ban potentially lasting until 2030

The U.S. Senate passed a bipartisan housing bill with 89 votes in favor and 10 against, which includes a provision prohibiting the Federal Reserve from issuing central bank digital currency (CBDC). The ban will last at least until the end of 2030, requiring the Federal Reserve not to issue or create CBDC or similar digital assets directly or through intermediaries such as financial institutions. However, the bill's prospects in the House of Representatives remain uncertain.

Some lawmakers have raised objections to the provision in the bill that limits the number of homes large institutional investors can hold, which may lead the House to push for a new version of the bill, thereby affecting its progress. Industry insiders have stated that the relevant provisions reinforce the position of private sector-led digital asset innovation and protect financial privacy.
