The post US Digital Dollar Ban Enacted Amid Housing Bill Dispute appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A US digital dollar ban just became one of the more unusual footnotes in American legislative history — buried inside a housing bill, signed by no one, and set to become law anyway. As of Friday night, the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act takes effect automatically, carrying with it a four-year prohibition on the Federal Reserve issuing any form of central bank digital currency. Key takeaways A four-year ban on a U.S. CBDC is now embedded in the housing-affordability bill, blocking the Federal Reserve from issuing a digital dollar until the end of 2030. President Trump refused to sign the bill but did not veto it, so it becomes law automatically after a 10-day constitutional window. Republicans inserted the CBDC prohibition into unrelated housing legislation, not a standalone digital currency bill. The Federal Reserve had no active plans to issue a digital dollar before the ban, and ha

The post Forecasting the upcoming week: US CPI and Warsh testimony to test the Dollar’s recovery appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The upcoming week will bring a major test for the US Dollar (USD), with investors focusing on the United States Consumer Price Index (CPI), Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Kevin Warsh’s congressional testimony and a broad set of activity indicators. China’s second-quarter Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and the Bank of Canada’s (BoC) interest-rate decision will also attract significant attention. The US Dollar Index (DXY) trades near 101.00, recovering from a one-week low hit earlier on Friday as investors balance softer recent labor market data against renewed geopolitical uncertainty and persistent inflation concerns. Tuesday’s US CPI report will be the central event for the Greenback. Headline CPI is expected to decline 0.1% MoM in June, following a 0.5% increase in May, while annual inflation previously stood at 4.2%. Core CPI is forecast to rise 0.3% MoM,

The post Bitcoin price prediction July 2026: Fed decides appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin closed the worst half-year in its recent history near $60,000, down from $93,000 in January and fresh off a 21-month low, and almost none of the damage came from crypto itself. The Federal Reserve and record ETF outflows did it, and the same two forces meet again at the July 28-29 policy meeting that will likely decide whether the bottom is in or another leg waits below. These are the levels, the scenarios, and the honest case on both sides. Summary Bitcoin enters July near $60,000, with the July 28–29 Fed meeting expected to determine whether the recent sell-off extends or a recovery begins. The main risks remain hawkish Fed policy and continued spot Bitcoin ETF outflows, while whale accumulation and an oversold market provide the strongest bullish arguments. Key levels to watch are $58,000 support and $63,800 resistance; a sustained return of ETF inflows could signal that a broader r
