Brazilian congresswoman Julia Zanatta expressed concerns about the impact of implementing digital currency (drex) on citizens' lives. Julia Zanatta emphasized that as the country advances in implementing drex (the national central bank digital currency), physical currency could come to an end. In a recent interview, Julia Zanatta explained that the use of drex should be voluntary rather than mandatory, as it could become a tool for imposing control over Brazilians. She has planned to establish multiple backup measures to prevent this from happening, helping Brazilians maintain their current economic freedom.
Julia Zanatta recently proposed a bill to combat the already introduced ban on the use of cash in Brazil, which suggests relying solely on electronic transactions and drex. The bill was proposed in 2020 and will gradually phase out the printing of money starting in 2025.
