Layah Heilpern: U.S. bans creation of CBDC as Europe advances digital currency
U.S. bans CBDC, Europe proceeds

Layah Heilpern, owner and host of The Layah Heilpern Show, highlights the contrasting approaches to central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) between the U.S. and Europe.

She states that the U.S. has banned the creation of a CBDC, while Europe is moving forward with its development. Heilpern frames this as a choice between financial freedom in the U.S. and greater surveillance in Europe, calling the U.S. "the greatest country in the world" for its stance.

Heilpern recently reported that Mt. Gox deposited $8.16 million in Bitcoin to Bitstamp, suggesting renewed market activity. She also disclosed her decision to remain on the sidelines since selling the majority of her crypto holdings in October 2025. Both developments highlight her ongoing engagement with crypto market events and strategy.
