A digital-euro pilot is not a public launch.
The ECB expects a 12-month pilot beginning in the second half of 2027. Its aim to be ready for possible first issuance in 2029 assumes the relevant regulation is adopted in 2026; issuance itself still needs a decision.
For $BTC watchers, distinguish payment-system testing from money already available to the public. Policy milestones can matter, but a conditional timetable does not establish an immediate crypto-market impact.
