U.S. Rep. Keith Self (R-Texas) introduced amendments to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) on Tuesday, which aims to prohibit the Federal Reserve from testing, developing, or issuing central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). Whether the amendment can be submitted to a full vote will be decided by the House Rules Committee, which has become a focal point of recent U.S. crypto regulation and digital currency policy.
