European Central Bank Mulls Setting Cap on Digital Euro Holdings

BlockBeats News, December 23rd: The European Central Bank has received support from the European Council to propose a cap on the amount of digital euro holdings. Regulatory authorities are concerned that a central bank digital currency could syphon off traditional bank funds and are considering limiting the amount of digital euros that citizens can hold to ensure they are used solely for payments.

Opponents argue that these restrictions will protect traditional banks from competition and may limit the potential utility of the digital euro.
