Donald Trump Bans CBDC In US: What It Means? How Do Stablecoins Fit Into The New Executive Order?
While campaigning for the US Presidential Elections, Trump had often mentioned banning CBDC once he entered the office.
The executive order banning CBDC defines it as“a form of digital money or monetary value, denominated in the national unit of account, that is a direct liability of the central bank.”
The order cites concerns such as risks related to privacy, sovereignty, and financial stability over using CBDC. As an alternative to CBDCs, the order seeks a stronger, private-sector-led digital asset ecosystem with special emphasis on dollar-backed stablecoins.

"Except to the extent required by law, any ongoing plans or initiatives at any agency related to the creation of a CBDC within the jurisdiction of the United States shall be immediately terminated, and no further actions may be taken to develop or implement such plans or initiatives,” the order said.

Terminating the use of CBDC is Donald Trump's first move towards cryptocurrency in his second term as the US President.
A CBDC is a type of digital currency, similar to cryptocurrency issued by a central bank. Its value is fixed by the central bank, unlike cryptocurrency. Several countries have implemented CDCs in recent years to transition into digital currency under centralised control.
However, Donald Trump's latest move reflects resistance to centralised control achieved through CBDC against decentralised cryptocurrencies. Legal Disclaimer:
