Benzinga – Former President Donald Trump reiterated his opposition to the development of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) during a rally in Laconia, New Hampshire, on Monday night.

What Happened: Speaking to the crowd, Trump stated, “Vivek wanted this: I will never allow the creation of a Central Bank Digital Currency,” referring to Vivek Ramaswamy, a pro-cryptocurrency Republican candidate who ended his campaign after a lackluster performance in the Iowa caucuses.

Trump has consistently criticized CBDCs at earlier campaign stops, emphasizing the potential dangers. He asserted, “This would be a dangerous threat to freedom, and I will stop it from coming to America.” Trump argued that CBDCs could grant the federal government excessive control over individual finances, stating, “Such a currency would give a federal government absolute control over your money. They could take your money, and you wouldn’t even know it was gone.”
