US Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has invoked the Book of Revelation to oppose a landmark cryptocurrency bill, arguing that its failure to ban central bank digital currency could lead to the end of the world. The GENIUS Act, which aims to create regulations for stablecoins, would allow central banks to issue their own digital currencies, sparking concerns about a potential surveillance state and loss of decentralized nature.
Greene cited Revelation 13:16-17, warning that participating in buying or selling without the “mark of the beast” (a metaphor for evil) could lead to Armageddon. Her opposition is part of a broader debate over the bill’s impact on consumer protection and financial regulation. The House is already voting on another piece related to central bank digital currency surveillance.
