According to Frankfurt, the digital euro is proposed as a countermeasure to the growing influence of American stablecoins.

The European Central Bank is ramping up its efforts to develop the digital euro in response to the increasing dominance of US stablecoins like Tether and USD Coin, as well as American payment technologies such as Apple, Google, and PayPal in the European market. This initiative, strongly backed by ECB Chief Economist Philip Lane, aims to safeguard Europe’s financial autonomy in an increasingly fragmented geopolitical landscape, according to the central institution.

Defense against the US

On March 20, during a speech at the annual conference of the UCC Economics Society in Cork, Ireland, Philip Lane raised concerns about the growing presence of US dollar-backed stablecoins in the eurozone. From the ECB’s perspective, this trend poses a serious threat to the independence of the European monetary system. Lane emphasized that nearly 99% of the stablecoin market is currently tied to the US dollar, a situation that demands immediate action to maintain the euro’s relevance, the economist suggested.

Lane stated:

“The digital euro is not just about making sure our monetary system adapts to the digital age. It is about ensuring that Europe controls its monetary and financial destiny, against a backdrop of increasing geopolitical fragmentation.”

The report on his speech notes:

“The digital euro would curtail the risk that domestic-currency stablecoins might gain a significant market share in the domestic payments system, which would be highly disruptive for the banking system and credit intermediation.”
