Bundesbank President Joachim Nagel has shifted stance to actively support euro-denominated stablecoins and a retail CBDC, framing it as a strategic necessity rather than an option. Europe's urgency stems from concerns over US dollar dominance in digital payments, with USD-pegged stablecoins commanding over $310 billion in market value compared to minimal euro-based alternatives.

Nagel emphasized wholesale CBDCs for programmable interbank transactions, signaling a concrete MOVE to reduce cross-border payment costs and assert monetary sovereignty. The push aligns with MiCA implementation, positioning Europe to compete in shaping digital finance infrastructure before falling irreversibly behind.
