Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) has reintroduced legislation to prevent the use of China’s central bank digital currency (CBDC) in the U.S. market.
The legislation, called the Chinese CBDC Prohibition Act, would impose a ban on the Chinese digital currency, variously known as the digital yuan, digital renminbi, e-CNY, or e-yuan. The Chinese digital currency is issued and regulated by China’s central bank, the People’s Bank of China (PBOC).
