The advent of digital currencies presents us with a new epoch
characterised by an innovative breed of money. At the heart of this
revolution is the Digital Euro, a notional concept that, until
recently, was sentences in the pages of futuristic financial
discourse.
After an extensive two-year investigative period, the European
Central Bank's (ECB) Governing Council has made a significant
decision to initiate the next crucial phase: the Digital Euro
Preparation Phase. During this preparatory stage, the Eurosystem
will concentrate its efforts on in-depth testing across several
essential domains, encompassing the design, user experience,
privacy, financial inclusivity, and ecological sustainability
aspects of the Digital Euro.
