The ECB is pushing to remain significant in the digital finance landscape, inviting client investments in capital market products that may fund the creation of a CBDC. This evolution signifies a transformation of the banking profession, as bankers increasingly blend into roles as developers, while Bitcoin remains a constant with its consistent issuance schedule amidst fluctuating traditional monetary policies.
In July 2025, the USA officially banned CBDCs for its Federal Reserve Bank, while Europe pursued their implementation for the European Bank, indicating a significant policy rift.
