Europe Just Put Central Bank Money on the Rails of Tokenized Finance.
The ECB has launched Pontes, connecting private DLT platforms with its TARGET infrastructure so banks can settle tokenized assets directly in central bank money. Lagarde described it as a "digital euro made available to banks."
Pontes is the first operational step toward Appia, the ECBโs broader vision for a tokenized European financial system.
Tokenized finance is moving from experiments into central-bank infrastructure.
