## Resource

Piero Cipollone, a top ECB official, warns that stablecoins could drain traditional banks of deposits and customer data, accelerating their decline as digital payments surge. He’s pushing for a digital euro to keep Europe’s financial system anchored in public money and ensure banks stay relevant — not just as intermediaries, but as essential players in the digital economy. The ECB has already selected 36 firms for a 12-month pilot to test the digital euro’s viability, with a potential launch as early as 2029 — a bold move to future-proof Europe’s financial infrastructure without losing control.
