CBDC
EU’s Leaked Digital Euro Bill Outlaws Interest, Large Holdings, Programmability
Paying interest on or surcharges for using a digital euro would be banned under a draft law seen by CoinDesk, and set to be proposed by the European Commission on June 28. The proposed central bank digital currency (CBDC) would have to be available for cash-style offline payments from day one, and users shouldn’t be able to program it to limit onward use. CoinDesk Regulations Reporter Jack Schickler breaks down the provisions of the leaked bill, with a focus on interest, transactions, and privacy.

Digital Dollar Debate Takes Center Stage at Consensus 2023

Jesse Hamilton, CoinDesk's Deputy Managing Editor for Global Policy and Regulation, reports on the dialogue around this potential government-backed asset by the Federal Reserve. Hamilton highlights the appeal of "instant transactions and seamless movement of money across borders," but notes the substantial privacy implications, given the "tremendous amount of data that could be collected by the institutions running it."
