North Carolina's CBDC ban bill vetoed by governor
Governor Roy Cooper was slammed for not putting “partisan politics aside” to support a law that would benefit all North Carolina residents.
North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper has vetoed a bill banning the state from implementing a Federal Reserve-issued central bank digital currency despite it receiving near-unanimous support in the House and Senate.
Cooper — who’s been slammed for making a politically-motivated decision — explained that House Bill 690 was too “premature, vague and reactionary” to sign into law in a June 5 statement.
Cooper’s veto followed a lopsided 109-4 vote in the House and a 39-5 vote in the Senate in late June.
