๐ช๐บ EU Eyes Ethereum & Solana for Digital Euro
The European Central Bank (ECB) is considering Ethereum and Solana as possible platforms for the upcoming digital euro.
๐น Why the shift?
The U.S. just passed the GENIUS Act, boosting stablecoins and raising fears of dollar dominance.
EU wants to protect the euroโs role in global payments.
๐น Whatโs at stake?
Public chains (Ethereum, Solana) = transparency, global access, faster adoption.
But concerns remain around privacy and transaction data.
๐น Timeline
ECB aims for a potential rollout by 2028, pending final approval.
Decision still open: private system vs. public blockchain.
๐ A digital euro could reshape Europeโs payment landscape and challenge U.S. stablecoin growth.
