The EU may launch a digital euro on Ethereum or Solana — open blockchain is being discussed
According to media reports, the European Union has accelerated the digital euro initiative after the adoption of a new stablecoin law in the United States.
The main reason is the concern that the dominance of dollar stablecoins will negatively impact the competitiveness of the euro.
Currently, the use of a public network instead of a private one is being discussed. Among the options are Ethereum and Solana. This will open up broad integration opportunities but raises sharp questions about data protection.
