Italian Banking Association Launches Digital Euro Project
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The Italian Banking Association or Associazione Bancaria Italiana (ABI) and its ABI Lab have initiated a digital euro research project. Multiple countries are contributing research towards the European Central Bank’s (ECB) work on its central bank digital currency (CBDC). However, the Italian project refers to it only as a “digital euro” and does not mention any involvement from the country’s central bank, Banca di Italia, although we’ve requested confirmation.

The group plans to explore the technical feasibility of leveraging distributed ledger technology (DLT) for a digital euro currency.

The ABI has a strong track record and hence potentially could make a valuable contribution. More than 100 Italian banks are in production with blockchain nodes as part of its Project Spunta, which enables automated reconciliation of interbank accounts using a blockchain solution leveraging R3’s Corda.
