According to Cointelegraph, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) by a vote of 312-112 on Wednesday, but the bill did not contain the previously promised ban on central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), causing dissatisfaction among Republican hardliners.
"Conservatives were explicitly promised to include strong anti-central bank digital currency language in the NDAA, but that promise has been broken," Republican Rep. Keith Self wrote on the X platform. Self submitted an amendment to include a CBDC ban on Tuesday, but the amendment failed to advance and was not voted on in the House of Representatives.
In July, the House Republican leadership reached an agreement with party hardliners to commit to including a CBDC ban in the defense spending bill in exchange for the latter's support for three cryptocurrency bills. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene also criticized House Speaker Mike Johnson for not keeping his promise.
The bill has now been sent to the Senate with the goal of passing it by the end of the year. Self said he will continue to fight for a CBDC ban in the next must-pass bill
