According to Foresight News, North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper has vetoed a bill that would have prohibited the state from implementing a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) issued by the Federal Reserve. In his statement, he explained that House Bill 690 was too immature, vague, and reactionary to be signed into law.Mitchell Askew, Chief Analyst at Blockware Solutions, expressed his disappointment with the governor's decision. He stated that the veto does not represent the will of the people of North Carolina, and it's unfortunate that the governor is unwilling to put partisan politics aside in favor of a law that would benefit all residents of North Carolina.
