US Senate passes bill banning issuance of CBDCs
The US Senate has passed a bipartisan housing bill that includes a provision banning the Federal Reserve from issuing Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) until after 2030. This development may have implications for the global CBDC landscape, potentially delaying the adoption of digital currencies in the US. For Swiss finance and banking, this decision could influence the country's position on CBDCs, as Switzerland has been actively exploring the concept of a digital Swiss franc. The delay in US CBDC development may also provide Switzerland with an opportunity to solidify its position as a leader in fintech innovation, particularly in the areas of digital currencies and AI-driven financial services.
