The European Central Bank (ECB) is reportedly gaining support from the Council of the EU for implementing caps on digital euro holdings. According to reports, regulators are considering these limitations to prevent a central bank digital currency (CBDC) from draining funds away from traditional banks. The aim is to ensure the digital euro is primarily used for payments rather than as a store of value. The development reflects concerns about the potential impact of a digital euro on the existing financial system.
