Europe wants to turn Digital Euro (CBDC) into a stablecoin

The digital euro is just so bad
robertlagrant•4mo ago
Why? I've never heard of it.
HelloUsername•4mo ago
Pretty good video explaining it: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CzkVBXDhTwY
ranguna•4mo ago
Care to elaborate why?

I used to think they'd use this to track citizens, but it seems like that's not the case at all, we'll even have offline transfers.

wolvesechoes•4mo ago
It is necessary if EU wants to stop relying on US payment companies.
ebalit•4mo ago
It seems like wero [0] is making some progress on this front without relying digital euro or on crypto.

0: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wero_(payment)

pjc50•4mo ago
Why does Europe want a stablecoin when it has PDS2 and near-instant clearing?
AvG_DXB•4mo ago
Exactly, you don't really need stablecoins (or digital Euro=CBDC) because you have SEPA in EU
marcosdumay•4mo ago
The goal of money is to be used for trade. All of the examples on the article are failures, and the market cap is at best useless information.

The EU at least had a honest attempt of making money, instead of a ponzi scheme.

wolvesechoes•4mo ago
> The goal of money is to be used for trade.

Actually, to quantify debt.

AvG_DXB•4mo ago
Nobody is using stablecoins for trade, especially not in Europe. Stablecoins are used by world's largest traders to rebalance liquidity between trading venues - that's 99% of all stablecoin transfers
latexr•4mo ago
What confusing writing.

Every sentence is a paragraph.

And look like disconnected ideas.

Like bullet points without bullets.

Exhausting to read.

Looks like memes written by LLMs.

Why do cryptocurrency-focused people tend to write like this?

add-sub-mul-div•4mo ago
Cryptocurrency is the intersection of tech bros who think they know more than everyone else and finance bros who think they deserve more than everyone else. In this era of tech the bigger the opportunity, the worse the people who flock to it.
euroderf•4mo ago
> the bigger the opportunity, the worse the people who flock to it.

Isn't that the case almost everywhere ? I mean, look at the people that go into politics when there's little-to-no control of corruption.

AvG_DXB•4mo ago
not at all, crypto crowd is very nice & humble on average
M95D•4mo ago
And acronyms everywhere.
AvG_DXB•4mo ago
It's quite straighforward, not sure what's confusing you
JumpCrisscross•4mo ago
I recently got pitched stablecoins as a way to lower government borrowing costs. I’m sort of on board with this.

If I am investing $1mm of my own money, I care about the yield. If I’m investing $1mm of someone else’s money, and I don’t need to pay them a return, I mostly care about never losing it. This creates price-insensitive demand for safe assets. If you require those safe assets be government bonds, you’ve created pools of price-insensitive demand for your government’s debt.

Put another way, we’re financing our deficits with crypto bros. Compared with taxation, that seems like a win-win.

ab5tract•4mo ago
How is it “instead of”?
JumpCrisscross•4mo ago
You’re quoting a phrase that never appears. That’s confusing.
pjc50•4mo ago
As with so many bits of crypto, I have to ask: who's taking the other side of this trade? Who wants their money held with no yield when they could have yield?
JumpCrisscross•4mo ago
> who's taking the other side of this trade? Who wants their money held with no yield when they could have yield?

Dumb money, criminals, folks selling to the foregoing and a narrow slice of the technically curious.

AvG_DXB•4mo ago
That's an accurate description what's happening. New administration gets that, hence they're pro crypto & stablecoins
