The USA has quickly pushed through its law on stablecoins. Now EU officials feel under pressure to move forward with the digital euro project.

    The digital euro won’t be a crypto. It will compete with Visa and Mastercard (which are American).

      It’s meant as a wallet and not a bank account. So more of a PayPal alternative.

        Yes, it will work more or less that way, but it won’t rely on Visa or Mastercard.

        As far as I understand, Wero is just an alternative to Swish, which has been around for like 10 years. And that is definitely not an alternative to Visa/MasterCard.

      if it adopts the Ethereum blockchain or a proof-of-work model it may prove just as harmful
