ECB begins a year-long Digital Euro pilot using XRP Ledger and WhiteNetwork, with 500+ financial institutions participating in the program.
XRP Ledger handles high-speed settlements while WhiteNetwork adds institutional features, meeting all EU digital asset compliance standards.
$WHITE token tied to WhiteNetwork surged 350% this week after its confirmed inclusion in the ECB’s official CBDC pilot framework.
The European Central Bank has officially launched a 12-month pilot program to test its Digital Euro (CBDC), using XRP Ledger and WhiteNetwork.
Digital Euro Pilot Program Begins with XRP Ledger and WhiteNetwork
The European Central Bank (ECB) has begun its Digital Euro pilot project, marking a new phase in regulated digital asset testing across Europe. According to an official release from the Digital Currency Innovation Division, the 12-month program will run from June 2025 to May 2026.
The technical infrastructure will rely on two distributed ledger technologies: XRP Ledger by Ripple as the primary platform, and WhiteNetwork by WhiteRock as the secondary system. Both platforms have been selected to ensure secure, fast, and compliant real-time settlement across European jurisdictions.
Amonyx reported on X, “European Central Bank is officially launching its Digital Euro pilot! $WHITE & #XRP are directly involved,” referring to the ECB listing WhiteNetwork alongside XRP Ledger. He added that over 500 authorized financial institutions will take part in the program.
Program Structure and Infrastructure Specifications
The Digital Euro initiative is structured in three phases. The first phase, from June to August 2025, focuses on deploying infrastructure and validating security measures. The second phase, from September to November, involves institutional testing and platform integration. The third and final phase, from December to May 2026, will see full-scale pilot operations and data collection.
The program will test real-time gross settlement and cross-border transaction efficiency. Each transaction will have a maximum value of €10,000. XRP Ledger is expected to handle 1,500+ transactions per second, with settlement finality in under five seconds. WhiteNetwork has been chosen for its institutional-grade features that complement XRP Ledger’s strengths.
The ECB confirms that all operations will comply with EU digital asset regulations. The pilot is designed to simulate actual use cases within Europe’s existing financial system.
