As part of its work on the digital euro, the European Commission has proposed a definition and regulation for ‘legal tender’ of euro coins and banknotes, as seemingly this has never previously existed in official legislation.

The European Central Bank has published reports on its recent market research and prototyping activities, during which it was both told, and shown, that launching a digital euro CBDC to its currently proposed specification is inherently possible.
