The European Central Bank (ECB) has renewed its push for a digital euro, framing it as a reliable, crisis-proof payment option.  ECB Executive Board Member Piero Cipollone told the European Parliament’s economic committee that the digital euro would guarantee access to free, universally accepted payments, even during major disruptions.  https://x.com/ecb/status/1963550103630680089  He argued it would complement physical cash, strengthen resilience, and reduce reliance on non-European payment providers. However, many lawmakers remain skeptical. Concerns focus on privacy protections, risks to the traditional banking system, and whether citizens would shift deposits away from commercial banks to the perceived safety of ECB accounts.  Some questioned the central bank’s plan to impose caps on digital euro holdings, fearing those limits could change during crises.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COfHwr-Ksng  Cipollone defended the approach, stressing rigorous analysis and highlighting that other financial risks would outweigh digital euro concerns in extreme scenarios. On privacy, Cipollone insisted transactions would be anonymous to the ECB and that offline payments would match the confidentiality of cash.  Despite political delays, legislation could be finalized by 2026, with a potential rollout by 2029 if approved by EU institutions.
