Elizabeth Warren once said CBDCs have a “great promise” – Now she’s helping block it

- Senator Warren, the self-proclaimed crypto executioner who once praised CBDCs as having "great promise," has now legally gagged the Federal Reserve from issuing one until 2030. She traded her digital dollar dream for a housing bill that actually helps people. It’s a classic political pivot: sacrifice a theoretical surveillance tool to secure votes for real estate reform. The Fed was already stalling anyway, so this just codifies the status quo with extra paperwork. While she blocks the digital dollar, the rest of us keep stacking sats in our meat wallets, unbothered by Senate compromises. At least the bureaucracy is finally useful for something other than stifling innovation.
