ECB board member Piero Cipollone laid out the three-layer threat banks face from digital payments, and pitched the digital euro as the only structural answer.
- The ECB warns that stablecoins pose a significant threat to European banks by potentially draining retail deposits, impacting their ability to lend.
- The European Central Bank proposes a digital euro as a structural solution to counter stablecoin risks and maintain financial stability, with pilot programs planned.
- Despite ECB concerns, the stablecoin market continues to grow, while legislative processes for the digital euro are underway with a target issuance in 2029.
