On February 29, the second Digital Euro Conference took place at the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management – and EY FinTech & bEYond was part of it to capture the vibrant impressions throughout the one-day conference. Industry leaders, experts, and policymakers engaged in lively discussions about the impact of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), stablecoins, and tokenized commercial bank money on the economy and society.
