North Carolina governor vetoes CBDC ban bill

Odaily News North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper vetoed a bill that would have prohibited the state from implementing a central bank digital currency issued by the Federal Reserve, despite the bill having near-unanimous support from both the House and the Senate. Roy Cooper, who has been criticized for making politically motivated decisions, explained in a statement on June 5 that House Bill 690 was “premature, vague, and reactionary” and not suitable for signing into law.
