June 23 (Cointime) - US presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has expressed his support for bitcoin and self-sovereignty policies. He plans to introduce policies that allow individuals to manage their own bitcoin wallets, nodes, and passwords, and endorse a light-touch regulatory environment with minimal controls to prevent money laundering.

However, he opposes central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) as he believes they pose a risk of oppressive control and are likely to be misused. Kennedy's stance on digital assets reinforces the idea that they will be a key issue in the 2024 United States presidential election.
