<h2 id="strong-legislative-journey-and-implications-strong"><strong>Legislative Journey and Implications</strong></h2> 
<p>Massie’s bill is still in its early stages and must navigate multiple legislative hurdles before it can become law. The proposal has ignited a significant discussion about the relevance and future of traditional financial institutions in an increasingly <a href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/competition-for-bitcoin-as-eurosystem-starts-digital-euro-trials-revolutionizing-digital-securities/">digital economy</a>.</p> 
<p>The Federal Reserve currently plays a crucial role in managing U.S. monetary policy, and its potential abolition could lead to profound changes in the financial landscape.</p>
