🚨 EUROPE about to LAUNCH DIGITAL EURO to maintain CONTROL?
The digital euro is no longer just a tech experiment. It is about control.
The ECB says payments have become a geopolitical issue. In a world where money systems can be frozen or pressured, Europe wants sovereignty. Simple as that.
Cash usage dropped from 40% in 2019 to 24% today. Commerce moved online. Payments followed. But most of Europe still relies on non european rails to move digital money. That makes policymakers nervous.
The digital euro is pitched as public money in digital form. Same trust as cash. Built on european infrastructure. Accepted everywhere digital payments are accepted.
And this part matters. Merchants would be required to accept it. That instantly creates scale. One standard. One network. No fragmentation.
The ECB is betting this becomes the backbone for a unified european payments layer. Banks and fintechs build on top. Commerce flows without foreign dependencies.
Whether you like cbdcs or not, the signal is clear. Governments are taking digital money seriously. Fast.
Crypto opened the door. Now institutions are racing to control the hallway. Money is going digital either way. The question is who runs the rails. Looks like the EU is creating an own rail... #DigitalEuro #CBDCS #CBDC #CentralBankDigitalCurrency #EU
