“Whatever It Takes 2.0: The Race for Monetary Sovereignty in the Age of Stablecoins”

As stablecoins rapidly reshape global payments and financial markets, Europe faces a strategic challenge: preserving the role of the euro in an increasingly digital and dollar-centric world. The growing dominance of USD-denominated stablecoins raises important questions about monetary sovereignty, financial stability, and Europe’s competitiveness. Can the digital euro and private-sector innovation provide a credible European alternative? This panel will explore the future of digital money and the actions needed to ensure that Europe remains a key player in the next generation of global finance.
