TL;DR

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed two bills banning a centralized federal digital currency and government surveillance of finances, claiming that the Biden administration's Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) is a "surveillance and control" attempt. The Federal Reserve clarified that it is not imposing any digital currency, but is launching a FedNow payment service in July 2023 to speed up payments for individuals and businesses.
