The European Central Bank frames its proposed digital currency as a path to payment sovereignty, not just a technical upgrade. The European Central Bank has restated its case for a digital euro, this time emphasizing control over payment infrastructure rather than just convenience for consumers. According to reporting from crypto.news and BitKE, the ECB said the project could give Europe greater command over how money moves across the continent. The argument centers on sovereignty. Much of Europe's retail payment system currently depends on non-European card networks and payment processors.
