“I’m going to make sure that Bitcoin is protected, that people can keep their own wallets, and that the current White House war on Bitcoin will be over,” RFK stated.

Additionally, Kennedy has spoken out against the development of a government-issued Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). Moreover, RFK suggests that Bitcoin and assets like it provide a way forward outside of the government’s eyes. Finally, he pointed to privacy concerns as the basis for his opposition to CBDCs.
