Christine Lagarde has ignited a strategic debate about the euro’s global role during a Berlin address. The ECB president explicitly framed the single currency as a viable alternative to the dollar for international reserves, marking a rare public escalation of Europe’s monetary ambitions.

Geopolitical tensions and declining confidence in dollar stability create an unprecedented opening for currency realignment. Lagarde’s proposal WOULD require substantial financial infrastructure development within the EU to support reserve currency status - a multi-year challenge with significant blockchain implications.
