How CBDCs and Stablecoins Redefine Monetary Sovereignty
summary
Europe plans a retail Digital Euro (2029) while a wholesale bridge called Pontes pilot end of next year aims to tokenise central‑bank money for capital markets; Switzerland already runs a live Helvetia pilot. USD stablecoins dominate today, Circle’s payment rails outpace European options, and builders (Electrocoin among them) are launching bank‑issued stablecoin wallets. MiCA creates strict reserve rules, regulators expect coexistence but worry private money crowding public money and note stablecoin issuers are major buyers of US Treasuries.
