ECB Weighs Use of Ethereum, Solana for Digital Euro Design

The European Union is exploring the use of major public blockchain networks like Ethereum and Solana in the design of its digital euro. The European Central Bank (ECB) is considering utilizing a public network rather than a private blockchain system to build the digital currency, according to a report from the Financial Times. This move would mark a significant step forward for the project, potentially representing the first time a central bank digital currency (CBDC) utilizes open, permissionless infrastructure.
