The Federal Reserve says no decision has been made on issuing a CBDC and that it would only proceed with an authorizing law; Chair Powell said a CBDC would need congressional approval.

The Fed already states that it would not issue a U.S. CBDC without authorizing legislation, but this is agency position rather than a new enacted congressional requirement.

Executive Order 14178 prohibits agencies, except as required by law, from actions to establish, issue, or promote CBDCs and orders ongoing CBDC creation plans terminated.
