Florida Governor Ron DeSantis took another swing at a U.S. digital dollar today even as he defended crypto as a whole, unveiling a series of state legislative proposals that would combat "woke politics."

DeSantis had previously announced a state bill to ban CBDCs, branding it as “Big Brother’s Digital Dollar."

"The danger of the digital currency is that they want to make that the sole currency—they want to put everything in a central bank digital currency," he said. "I think that that's fundamentally wrong, so we're recognizing the dangers with this agenda."

The governor tied a CBDC to "woke" practices by saying that proponents "will impose ESG and social credit scores onto that, and that's going to be a huge reduction in freedom for people in this country."
