Our Expertise
Public Digital Euro / CBDC
A central bank digital currency (CBDC) is a digital currency issued by a central bank. In the case of a retail CBDC, the CBDC is available to the private end-user. The ECB uses the term “digital euro” to define a euro CBDC.
Private Digital Euro / Euro stablecoins
Stablecoins are crypto assets that maintain a (relatively) constant price due to a stabilization mechanism and are therefore not subject to high volatility. Stability is ensured, e.g., by holding reserves in fiat currencies, government bonds, or other assets.
Digital Euro Conference
Our flagship annual conference bringing together the people shaping the future of digital money across central banking, finance, technology, academia and policy.
"The future of money is not about choosing one form of money over another. It is about creating an interoperable ecosystem in which different forms of digital money can coexist and unlock new opportunities for Europe"
Anne-Sophie Gógl
Chairwoman
