EU pushes digital euro to cut reliance on Visa and Mastercard
Original: # DigitalerEuro gegen # Visa und # Mastercard : # EU will unabhängiger von US-Zahlungsdiensten werden.
The European Union is moving forward with plans for a digital euro, aiming to reduce Europe's dependence on US payment services such as Visa and Mastercard. Supporters argue a state-backed digital currency would strengthen European payment sovereignty and give consumers a home-grown alternative. Critics worry about privacy and the impact on commercial banks.
Why now: Ongoing EU legislation and debate over strategic autonomy in payments has put the digital euro back in the headlines.
