This comes despite the continuous attack by the likes of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on crypto businesses operating in the country. Recently, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis criticized the Biden administration’s way of handling the crypto enforcement actions. His comments sparked a debate around crypto regulation and the implementation of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) in the country.
