Brazilian CBDC Implementation Raises Legal Concerns
- Brazil’s CBDC, drex, could impact 213 million citizens if physical money is phased out.
- Congresswoman Zanatta proposes a public ballot to determine drex’s final implementation.
- Central Bank of Brazil plans to complete drex pilot by end of 2024, affecting monetary policy.
