Financial sovereignty, digital euro and payment roaming: the EU seeks alternatives to US cards.

Europe spends billions of euros every year on card payments, almost all of them processed outside European systems.

EU leaders now see this dependence as a risk that Europe can no longer ignore, given the possibility that this infrastructure could be turned into a geopolitical weapon.

New #Euro banknotes. One of these 10 designs will be selected by the end of 2026. I’m not sure what to make of them. The first thing that came to mind was Monopoly (the game). Also, we are going to have a #DigitalEuro about a year before these become tender. So why bother with this exercise? “Birds and Rivers because they have no borders”? Who took place in consultation, ten year-olds?

Damian from Volt has already achieved key compromises regarding the digital euro in Parliament and on the ECON Committee.
👉🏼 It should also work offline.
👉🏼 Payments should be just as anonymous as with cash.
👉🏼 Furthermore, small retailers should see significantly more favourable terms than with Visa or Mastercard.

While it is nice that the ECB is gauging public opinion on the new euro banknotes, this distracts from the fact that there is
👉🏼 no meaningful and binding public participation at a European level.
👉🏼 And that we should have a say in the terms and conditions of the digital euro.

give us technological #Sovereignty.

EU lawmakers give the digital euro the green light, but a rollout is still years away.

EU lawmakers on Thursday backed kickstarting negotiations on creating a digital version of the euro, as the European Union races to introduce the currency.

The project has been years in the making but the EU first needs to agree on the legal framework underpinning the virtual currency before it is available for use.

Enttäuschend: der zuständige Ausschuss im EU-Parlament hat wichtige mögliche Verbesserungen am Entwurf für den digitalen Euro nicht vorgenommen.

Bei den Anforderungen an Anonymität und die Offline-Funktionalität wurde nicht entscheidend nachgebessert. Dadurch könnten die privaten Dienstleister, die die Euro-Wallets verwalten, die Zahlungstransaktionen ungefiltert überwachen. (1/2)

The EU is re-inventing the wheel with their CBDC. And they're doing a really mediocre job with it.

And why? Because they want to remain in control (and ultimately have the ability to censor).

Digital euro: The plan to Trump-proof the EU’s economy.

The EU’s central bank is preparing a digital euro to cut dependence on Visa, Mastercard and Apple Pay.

Success hinges on giving consumers an easy-to-use payment system without prompting a flight from bank savings.
