The European Union is considering launching the digital euro on Ethereum and Solana networks
According to the Financial Times, the European Union is considering launching the digital euro on major public blockchain networks like Ethereum and Solana, in a move that could represent a strategic shift in the project's trajectory.
According to the report, the European Central Bank is exploring the option of adopting a public network instead of a closed private network, which means that data would be accessible to everyone and not restricted to licensed entities only.
Observers believe that this direction would be a milestone in the development of the digital euro, especially since the technological framework for the project has not yet been finalized.
One insider involved in the discussions told the newspaper: "The use of public blockchains has become something that EU officials are taking seriously now." Meanwhile, another source noted that if the digital euro is launched via a private network, it would closely resemble the experience of the Chinese central bank more than the innovations driven by American technology companies.
