最新报道:The European Central Bank (ECB) is advancing its digital euro project, targeting a 2029 launch despite criticism from EU lawmakers who warn of privacy risks and potential harm to commercial banks. ECB board member Piero Cipollone defended the initiative as a public good that would enhance Europe’s financial resilience. The ECB plans to finalize legislation by 2026, followed by three years of infrastructure development. While global interest in CBDCs has waned, the ECB remains committed, though parliamentary approval remains a critical hurdle.
