ECB hopes to have political deal on digital euro by early 2026

  • The European Central Bank hopes to reach a political deal on a digital euro by early 2026 to complement cash use across Europe.
  • The ECB has pursued the digital euro project due to declining cash usage, rising private digital payments, and concerns over Europe’s monetary sovereignty.
  • A member of the ECB’s executive board emphasized that the digital euro aims to preserve access to public money, offer consumer choice, safeguard privacy, and serve as a complement to cash rather than a substitute.
  • Cipollone stated a political agreement from EU states and legislation are needed soon, expecting two to three years for launch after approval.
  • The digital euro aims to strengthen Europe’s financial independence and reduce reliance on dominant private providers, but the launch timeline remains uncertain.
