U.S. Senate votes to ban CBDCs in housing bill that may face trouble in the House

A bipartisan housing bill was approved in the Senate, carrying an unrelated ban on U.S. central bank digital currencies, but its future remains uncertain. What to know : The major housing bill just passed by the U.S. Senate carried a section tacked to the end that would ban the Federal Reserve from issuing central bank digital currencies until the end of 2030. It's unclear what the House of Representatives will now do with the approved Senate bill, or whether President Donald Trump would live up to his claim he won't sign any legislation until he has a voter-ID law.(Coindesk)
