Is the ECB finally catching up? 🇪🇺 The European Central Bank has announced plans to expand its DLT-based settlement strategy. Step one: an interoperability link with TARGET Services. Step two: a fully integrated DLT settlement system. No clear timeline yet, but they promise it’s coming. After 50+ trials with banks and DLT platforms, the ECB is trying to modernize without rocking the boat. Piero Cipollone says they’re embracing innovation—but only on their terms. While the rest of the world moves fast on digital assets, Europe’s central bank is cautiously testing the waters. Will this be a game-changer or just another slow-moving experiment? 🤔
