MWITA-WD-2026-004 · Evidence A · P1
The ECB's 2025 digital-euro innovation platform involved more than 70 public and private participants testing or exploring capabilities including conditional payments for mobility and e-commerce, while issuance remained contingent on legislation and a later Governing Council decision.
What this does not establish
Conditional-payment tests do not prove technical scale, issuance, merchant adoption or legal availability.
Counterevidence & uncertainty
Legislation, rulebook, procurement, privacy implementation and issuance decision remain unresolved stages.
What would change the reading
Update after legislation, issuance decision, production testing, merchant pricing and measured payment outcomes.
