The narrative has holes ...
Privacy is a major concern when it comes to using Central Bank Digital Currencies for individual and business payments. Due to regulatory requirements, the Digital Euro can’t be fully anonymous - according to ECB and national banks’ statements.
CBDC expert Alexander Bechtel challenges this view in the Untitled Investment Talk with Dr. Karl-Michael Henneking and Simon Schaber, the founders of Untitled Investment Expertise. And he has a technical solution for the ECB at hand.
A talk on the most convincing use cases of a retail and wholesale CBDC; public, political versus commercial banks’ acceptance of the Digital Euro; if and what kind of blockchain/dlt technology a digital currency will be built on and why programmability of the Digital Euro isn’t necessarily all good.
