Our Expertise
Public Digital Euro / CBDC
A central bank digital currency (CBDC) is a digital currency issued by a central bank. In the case of a retail CBDC, the CBDC is available to the private end-user. The ECB uses the term “digital euro” to define a euro CBDC.
Private Digital Euro / Euro stablecoins
Stablecoins are crypto assets that maintain a (relatively) constant price due to a stabilization mechanism and are therefore not subject to high volatility. Stability is ensured, e.g., by holding reserves in fiat currencies, government bonds, or other assets.
The Future of Machine Money
Discover the potential of stablecoins in the European machine-to-machine (M2M) economy with our latest whitepaper,
