The senator argued that this project would record all financial transactions of Americans and would cause major privacy issues. Emmer also said that the application of CBDC could result in a control mechanism similar to the one in China.
The senator said that the digital dollar to be released in the US should run on the Blockchain, have the transparency of transactions and have the privacy features that cash provides.

He introduced bills to prevent the Fed from issuing a central bank digital currency (CBDC) directly to individuals, arguing that it would undermine the privacy and innovation of the digital economy.
