📢 ECB's digital Euro update: Privacy & data protection are top priorities but some features raise eyebrows 😲

🔹Crypto entrepreneur Daniel Batten points out potential issues: easier surveillance, deplatforming, account freezing, and limits on holdings.

🔹The ECB aims to moderate the digital Euro's use as a store of value, preserving banks' role in credit provision.

🔹Offline functionality offers a cash-like privacy level, but critics argue that it still requires the central bank's database, compromising privacy.

🔹A decision on the Euro CBDC will be made post-EU legislative process & preparation phase conclusion.

🌍 Globally, 3 countries have deployed a CBDC, with 36 pilots ongoing.
