The European Parliament has endorsed the development of a digital euro, a move aimed at bolstering the European Union's monetary sovereignty and countering the increasing influence of US dollar stablecoins. According to NS3.AI, the digital euro will be managed by the European Central Bank and is intended to operate both online and offline, with a strong emphasis on user privacy akin to cash. While euro stablecoins will remain in circulation, the digital euro is anticipated to become a pivotal element in the financial landscape. The market for euro-backed stablecoins is projected to expand significantly by 2030.
