The European Parliament passed a vote on the EU’s Digital Decade policy plan, which includes investing in cross-border blockchain infrastructure as part of its 2030 goals. The plenary vote passed on Thursday by 529 votes to 22, with 25 abstentions.

The policy document sets out the EU’s ambitions to achieve its 2030 digitalization targets. It outlines a large-scale, so-called "multi-national project" to achieve these goals, covering topics such as building a common data infrastructure, strengthening high-performance computing, rolling out 5G internet corridors and investing in blockchain and Web3 solutions.

Existing blockchain initiatives in Europe may see more support to build blockchain-based public services.
