As reported by 528btc, U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has criticized the Genius Act, claiming it contains a 'backdoor' for the introduction of a central bank digital currency (CBDC). Greene, who voted against the bill in July, argued that the legislation could empower the government to control and monitor financial transactions. She also accused House Speaker Mike Johnson of failing to include the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act in this year’s National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act, introduced in July 2025, aims to block the Federal Reserve from issuing a CBDC or similar financial products. Legal expert Brendan Perry of Kennedys Perry LLC dismissed Greene’s claims, stating they lack legal foundation and are more political than analytical.
