🇪🇺 JUST IN: The European Central Bank (ECB) is targeting mid-2029 for the potential launch of a digital euro, with a pilot phase expected to begin in 2027. The project is part of the ECB’s broader plan to modernize Europe’s payment system and ensure it keeps pace with the growing shift toward digital transactions. Officials say the digital euro would function as a secure, central bank–issued form of electronic cash that people across the eurozone could use for everyday payments, both online and offline.
