Trump Signs Key Crypto Legislation Amid Growing Digital Currency Debate

TL;DR Summary
The US House faced internal Republican conflict over a bill to ban the Federal Reserve from issuing a digital dollar, with conservative hardliners pushing for the ban amid fears of government surveillance and overreach. Despite bipartisan support for regulation, conservatives secured promises to attach the ban to broader legislation, though it is unlikely to become law. The debate reflects concerns over government control, privacy, and competition with private cryptocurrencies, with significant lobbying from banks and crypto interests.
