#Eurodigital The digital euro poses payment infrastructure problems

The silence of European lawmakers regarding Trump's Bitcoin reserve order is likely due to their focus on the digital euro, according to James Wo, founder and CEO of the venture capital firm DFG.

"This stems from the ECB's firm stance against holding Bitcoin in its reserves, as reiterated by ECB President Christine Lagarde," Wo told Cointelegraph, adding:

"This highlights the EU's greater emphasis on the digital euro, although the recent disruption in the ECB's Target 2 (T2) payment system, which caused significant delays in transactions, raised concerns about its ability to oversee a digital currency when it struggles with daily operations."
