ChainCatcher reported that according to Cointelegraph, North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper vetoed a bill prohibiting the state from implementing a central bank digital currency issued by the Federal Reserve, despite the fact that the bill received almost unanimous support from the House of Representatives and the Senate. Roy Cooper has been criticized for making politically motivated decisions. In a statement on June 5, he explained that House Bill 690 was "premature, vague and reactionary" and was not suitable for signing into law.
