Is the digital euro a stablecoin?
I'm curious about the digital euro and its characteristics. Specifically, I want to know if it can be considered a stablecoin, given its potential to maintain a stable value.
What is the digital currency in Germany?|A digital euro would be a digital form of central bank money, specifically the euro. It could be used by the general public in much the same way as cash, only in virtual form. This would make the digital euro a retail CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency).
Could you please elaborate on the concept of digital currency in Germany? Specifically, what would a digital euro entail? Would it be a digital representation of the euro, issued by the central bank? And how would the general public utilize it? Would it function similarly to physical cash, but in a virtual format? Additionally, could you explain the term 'retail CBDC' and how it applies to the proposed digital euro?
