A dozen Republican lawmakers on Thursday voted against the GENIUS Act, which President Donald Trump signed into law on Friday, including Georgia GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who opposed the bill over its stance on Central Bank Digital Currency.

Greene claimed on Wednesday that she was happy to remain a hard "no" on the legislation because it did not ban the federal reserve from issuing a central bank digital currency. 

Other hardline conservatives like Arizona Rep. Andy Biggs also rejected the final version of the bill. Despite the opposition, it passed in a bipartisan 308-122 split, which saw 102 Democrats vote in favor of the legislation.

Here are the 10 other Republicans who voted no on the bill:

Arizona Rep. Eli Crane

Georgia Rep. Austin Scott

Idaho Rep. Russ Fulcher

Maryland Rep. Andy Harris

Missouri Rep. Eric Burlison

Ohio Rep. Warren Davidson

Pennsylvania Rep. Scott Perry

Texas Rep. Chip Roy

Texas Rep. Michael Cloud

Virginia Rep. Morgan Griffith.

Trump praised the passage of the legislation in a statement during the bill signing Friday, claiming the GENIUS Act was a "very important act" that could be "revolutionary."

"This could be perhaps the greatest revolution in financial technology since the birth of the internet itself," Trump said. "A lot of people are saying that. What do you guys think? If you say yes, I'm saying yes."
