North Carolina’s CBDC ban bill vetoed by governor

Governor Roy Cooper was slammed for not putting “partisan politics aside” to support a law that would benefit all North Carolina residents.

North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper has vetoed a bill banning the state from implementing a Federal Reserve-issued central bank digital currency despite receiving near-unanimous support in the House and Senate.

Cooper, who has faced criticism for making a politically motivated decision, explained in a June 5 statement that House Bill 690 was too “premature, vague, and reactionary” to sign into law.

Cooper’s veto followed a lopsided 109-4 vote in the House and a 39-5 vote in the Senate in late June.

Implementing FIT21 could be a ‘slow, slow process’ — CFTC Commissioner

Summer Mersinger anticipates extensive coordination and potential delays in the implementation of FIT21 across U.S. regulatory agencies if it is enacted.

Implementing the Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act (FIT21) could be a lengthy process, potentially requiring months or even years of coordination between United States regulators before rules go into effect.

Summer Mersinger, Commissioner of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), made the prediction during a panel at the 2024 Consensus event. Mersinger sees a slow regulatory process for the bill if it becomes law.

“If you think legislation takes a long time, rulemaking takes a long time, too. And some of the Dodd-Frank rules we’re not even done,” said Mersinger, adding that the process’ length would depend on how Congress passes the legislation. She continued:

Elizabeth Warren supports enhanced U.S. sanction options for stablecoins

The senator wants new sanctions authority included in stablecoin legislation, but the Lummis-Gillibrand bill will disappoint her.

United States Senator Elizabeth Warren has sent a letter to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen commenting on Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo’s testimony before the Senate Banking Committee on April 9. She pursued the same line of thought as she did during the hearing — Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT).

Warren expressed her support in the letter for the legislative adoption of more comprehensive AML/CFT measures for stablecoins. Adeyemo appeared at the Senate hearing to discuss Treasury proposals for expanding its sanctions powers to blockchain validator node operators, among other measures. The Treasury listed its enhanced enforcement goals in response to gaps in current regulation in a document Warren calls a “letter to Congress” dated November 2023. Warren wrote:

Warren was apparently not referring to the stablecoin bill introduced into the Senate by Senators Kirsten Gillibrand and Cynthia Lummis on April 17, the day after the date of her letter. The 179-page Lummis-Gillibrand bill makes almost no mention of AML/CFT.
