Former U.S. President Donald Trump, currently in the running to contend for office again in the 2024 elections, has vowed to never allow the Federal Reserve to create a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC).

At least 15 other countries have also launched a pilot of their own CBDC, including Singapore, India, South Korea and Switzerland, according to اعداد و شمار from CBDC Tracker.
