US CBDC Ban Set to Advance Without Trump’s Signature

Donald Trump confirmed on social media that he would not sign the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, a housing bill that includes a ban on a US central bank digital currency until the end of 2030. According to the source, the decision sets up the bill to become law on Saturday without his signature.

The CBDC provision matters for the crypto ecosystem because it would place a federal restriction on the creation of a US digital dollar for several years. For readers following digital asset policy, the measure adds another marker to the broader debate over how the United States should approach government-issued digital money.

The ban is included inside the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act rather than as a standalone crypto bill. That means a major digital currency policy change is moving through legislation primarily framed around housing.

Trump’s decision not to sign the bill does not, based on the source, prevent it from taking effect. Instead, the reported outcome is that the legislation is positioned to become law on Saturday.

If enacted as described, the measure would keep a US CBDC off the table until the end of 2030. The source does not state what happens after that deadline or whether further legislative action could extend, revise, or remove the restriction.
