🇪🇺 The European Central Bank (ECB) begins settling euros via blockchain ⚡
Imagine waking up to find that the funds used by central banking in Europe can now settle transactions related to blockchain markets. The shift seems simple, but the infrastructure behind it could reshape how financial assets move.
On September 21, the ECB launched its new Pontes service within the Eurosystem, enabling the settlement of transactions for tokenised assets at wholesale scale using central bank money.
Pontes connects the distributed ledger platforms used by financial institutions with the existing payment infrastructure of the Eurosystem. The key distinction matters: it is settlement in central bank-issued euros, not a private stablecoin.
This makes it more than just another blockchain experiment. Europe is effectively testing how traditional financial infrastructure can interact with tokenised markets without giving up the settlement guarantees provided by central bank money.
❓Could central bank settlement be the missing link between traditional finance and tokenised assets?
