Ripple Product Manager Contributes to a paper titled “Exploring the digital euro
The paper, titled “Exploring the digital euro: Requirements for a successful implementation,” examines the potential benefits of a digital euro and outlines key requirements for a successful implementation. It also explores potential use cases for digital currency and examines the role that blockchain technology and other distributed ledger technologies could play in its development and implementation.
As highlighted in the article, privacy remains the primary concern of citizens when considering CBDCs, and these concerns must be tackled if governments are to ensure adoption.
“It was a pleasure to collaborate with such an expert group of contributors on the CBDC and Privacy whitepaper,” Ralphs said in a written statement.
“One thing the paper explores is that CBDCs—and the blockchain technology they are built upon—offer enhanced security and access management to help ensure privacy across the various use cases that are being implemented,” he added.
A digital euro would “at least” offer the same level of privacy obtainable with today’s electronic payment methods, European Central Bank (ECB) president Christine Lagarde said in November.
