Europe’s Digital Euro: The Self-Inflicted Wound (Part 2)
Europe's digital euro is a centralised CBDC arriving in 2029 — three years after stablecoin conventions are set. Meanwhile, Europe's crypto ecosystem is collapsing: blockchain jobs down 90%, MiCA compliance costs up 6x, and 75% of VASPs losing registration. The CBDC track record worldwide shows low adoption everywhere — from Nigeria's 98.5% unused wallets to China's e-CNY at just 0.16% of M0. Euro stablecoins could dominate emerging markets, but Europe is leaving that opportunity to the dollar. The Qivalis consortium of 37 banks is a start — but timing may be running out. #DigitalEuro #CBDC #Stablecoins #MiCA #Fintech #CryptoRegulation #EuroStablecoins #BrainDrain
