Lagarde says digital euro is imminent as eurozone inflation hits 3.8%
- —Lagarde: digital euro will complement cash, not replace it
- —Eurozone inflation was 3.8% in September, above the 2% target
- —ECB sees price pressures above target until H1 2027
- —Pontes platform for tokenized wholesale settlement launched in late September
Why it matters: A digital euro would give Europe a public alternative to private stablecoins and set the framework for tokenized settlement in the EU.
