[U.S. House of Representatives Passes Defense Authorization Act Without CBDC Ban] The U.S. House of Representatives passed the Defense Authorization Act on Wednesday with a vote of 312-112, but it did not include the previously promised ban on central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). Republican Representative Keith Self accused the promise of being broken, as the amendment he submitted failed to advance. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene criticized House Speaker Mike Johnson for not fulfilling the commitment. The bill has been sent to the Senate, and Keith Self stated that he will continue to push for a CBDC ban in the next bill.
