CFTC Chairman says US will never issue a CBDC

U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Chairman Mike Selig stated that the United States will never issue a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). In an interview, he said President Donald Trump's digital asset working group is well aware of the dangers a CBDC poses to ordinary Americans who do not want their economic decisions monitored and censored. Selig emphasized that under the CFTC's watch, the U.S. will never issue a CBDC.
