The NDAA text has no CBDC ban?
Flashback to the longest bill-related vote in the history of the US House just a few months ago. The primary hold up was that the legislation left the door open for a Central Bank Digital Currency.
The legislation only moved forward with the agreement from @SpeakerJohnson and @SteveScalise that:
Stand alone anti-CBDC legislation would get a vote on the floor (passed the House, stalled in Senate)
The anti-CBDC legislation would be attached to the NDAA - AND - every must-pass legislation that left the House until it was signed into law.

I voted NO on the GENIUS Act.
It overlooks smaller community banks and current issuers, and most importantly—it fails to protect self-custody and leaves the door wide open to a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC).

This week, the House took up several major crypto bills:
• S.1582 — GENIUS Act
• H.R.1919 — Anti-CBDC Act
• H.R.3633 — CLARITY Act
But not every bill protected your freedom and that’s where I drew the line.Very pro-crypto

That’s why the House passed two standalone bills: H.R. 1919 to ban a CBDC outright, and the CLARITY Act to protect self-custody and support crypto innovation.
The Senate should pass these bills immediately.
If they don’t, we worked to ensure the CBDC ban is taken care of in the upcoming National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

A CBDC could give federal bureaucrats full control over:
— Every transaction tracked
— Accounts frozen or censored
— Political beliefs punished
That’s not innovation. That’s surveillance.
