2029: Europe just declared WAR on Visa and Mastercard đ€ŻđȘđș
The ECB is done renting its payment infrastructure from Silicon Valley. This isn't theoretical research; it is a hard timeline for digital monetary sovereignty. Currently, 80% of Europe's digital payments flow through foreign giants like Visa and Apple Pay. The Digital Euro changes that equation completely.
Timeline locked: Legislation by 2026, pilot launch in 2027, and full deployment by 2029. This new digital cash will be legal tender across 21 countries, offering baked-in privacy and zero consumer fees. As Lagarde noted, they "cannot outsource the rails of our money." This move creates a direct, sovereign alternative to US stablecoins and Big Tech rails, fundamentally rewiring the global payment architecture. This seismic policy shift reinforces the need for decentralized assets like $BTC and will create pressure on utility coins such as $XRP. đïž
