The European Central Bank (ECB) published version 0.91 of the digital euro scheme rulebook. Its purpose is to provide a single set of measures, rules, and standards for the provision of digital euro payment services, and ensure a standardized digital euro payment experience across all Member States, irrespective of the country or the payment service providers (PSPs) used. It leverages, to the extent possible, on existing industry standards and procedures to improve interoperability and promote harmonization within the European payments infrastructure. [ECB]
The Bank of Italy (BoI) Financial Intelligence Unit published a paper that examines the potential of privacy-preserving stablecoins (“privacy stablecoins”) as retail payment instruments. It argues that stablecoins currently operating on public Layer-1 blockchains face structural limitations in terms of scalability, regulatory compliance, and privacy protection. Privacy-enhancing Layer-2 architectures may help overcome these constraints by combining greater operational efficiency with mechanisms that reconcile user confidentiality and regulatory oversight. The paper proposes a framework that relies on rollup‑based Layer‑2 designs with validity‑proof systems, data‑availability guarantees, and rule‑based selective disclosure to reconcile privacy with auditable reserves and enforceable financial integrity.

Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) published a paper that concludes a wholesale central bank digital currency (WCBDC) on Hyperledger Fabric is technically feasible for 24/7 interbank settlement and could serve as a conditional back-up to PhilPaSS Plus, subject to major design, risk, and legal work. The two-phase Project Agila sandbox showed Oracle’s distributed ledger technology (DLT) platform can support full WCBDC lifecycle operations, programmable payments and high volumes, but with clear constraints around transaction finality, access controls, cybersecurity, and scalability at larger loads. The report frames WCBDC as reserves-on-ledger and potential high-quality liquid asset, analyzes implications under the National Payment Systems Act and BSP Charter, and identifies systemically important payment system treatment, access, holding limits, and charter changes as key policy questions. It recommends focusing next on tokenized securities settlement and institutional cross-border use cases while hardening governance, IT risk, and integration with existing financial market infrastructures (FMIs).

Gita Gopinath argues that global stablecoin usage is structurally evolving toward maximum pseudonymity, in tension with decades of policy that pushed traditional money toward transparency. Empirically, most United States dollar‑pegged stablecoins (Tether and USD Coin) are held in self‑custody wallets and increasingly transferred wallet‑to‑wallet, with regulated exchanges and issuers involved in a shrinking share of flows, even on the most identifiable chains. This pattern undermines tax collection, financial‑crime controls, capital controls, and sanctions that depend on residence and identity information, while exploiting lighter compliance burdens relative to banks. Existing United States and European frameworks focus on issuers and centralized exchanges, leaving self‑custody and offshore activity largely outside ex ante monitoring, raising unresolved questions on how far regulation should extend into wallet‑level and cross‑border infrastructure.

Circle announced plans to launch a new stablecoin-focused, Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible Layer 1 blockchain called Arc, which will use USDC as its native gas token. Aimed at supporting enterprise-grade stablecoin payments, FX, and capital markets, Arc promises features like a stablecoin FX engine, rapid sub-second settlement, opt-in privacy, seamless integration with Circle’s platform, and interoperability across other partner blockchains. The public testnet for Arc is expected to go live in the fall of 2025 and a mainnet beta in 2026. [Read more at Circle]
The University of California (UC) Law Journal published a paper by Jiaying Jiang that explores the debate around implementing central bank digital currency (CBDC), focusing on the tension between privacy and regulatory demands. The author argues that the prevailing fear of government surveillance is not a technical inevitability but a result of outdated anti-money laundering (AML) and countering the financing of terrorism (CFT) regulations. To address this, the paper proposes concrete solutions: modernizing AML/CFT rules to allow for limited, threshold-based anonymity in everyday CBDC transactions; updating institutional record-keeping and reporting so small or low-risk transfers can occur privately; adopting privacy-preserving technologies like token-based payment options and encryption; and introducing clear legal carve-outs that permit financial institutions to implement privacy-by-design features without breaching regulatory obligations. These reforms, the author contends, would enable a digital dollar that protects user privacy while still equipping authorities with the tools necessary for oversight and crime prevention—demonstrating that privacy and compliance can be achieved together through thoughtful legal and technical innovation.

A forthcoming Bar Ilan University Faculty of Law Research Paper reports on the results of a multi-stage nationally-representatvie survey conducted in collaboration with the Bank of Israel on Israeli attitudes towards a possible digital shekel. The survey revealed that willingness to adopt was strongly correlated with trust in the central bank; respondents who expressed higher trust in the Bank of Israel were much more likely to intend to use the digital shekel. Interestingly, concerns about privacy were lower among Israelis compared to similar surveys in other countries, which may explain their relatively high acceptance. When asked about the most important features, respondents prioritized ease of use across payment scenarios, fraud protection, the ability to use the currency offline, absence of hidden fees, the option to earn interest, and above all, assurance that the central bank would not have access to personal transaction data. Overall, the survey highlights that while technical features matter, trust in the central bank is the most decisive factor influencing public willingness to adopt CBDC in Israel. [Read more at SSRN]
A paper published in the International Journal of Bank Marketing explores how personal financial planning impacts individuals’ willingness to adopt central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), using survey data from Sweden and the UK. The research finds that individuals who engage in activities such as budgeting, tracking expenses or setting long-term goals are more likely to express interest in CBDC adoption. These behaviors, reflecting financial literacy and forward-looking decision-making, align with openness to innovative financial technologies, were strengthened by perceptions of security, safety, and trust in the new technology. Individuals who believe that CBDCs are secure and that their personal data will be protected are significantly more likely to adopt the technology. Socioeconomic factors like education and age, as well as personal attitudes toward technology and risk, also influence adoption. [Read more at Emerald Insight]

The Bank of Canada (BOC) published a paper that explores the use of privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) in the design of central bank digital currency (CBDC) systems, potentially paving the way for solutions that better safeguard end-user privacy and meet rigorous data protection standards. PETs can offer robust protection for data throughout their lifecycle, whether stored, in transit or during processing, and ensure privacy is maintained even when data are extensively shared or analyzed. However, they can introduce performance overheads and add complexity to systems, and their effectiveness and applicability are currently limited due to their early stage of development. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of how PETs can transform privacy design in financial systems and the implications of their broader adoption. [Read more at the BOC]

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) published the results of a public consultation on New Zealanders’ views on a potential central bank digital currency (CBDC). The vast majority of respondents expressed concern about the potential for government control, privacy, traceability, and autonomy. Many feared “Digital Cash” will be used to facilitate unacceptable intrusion into their privacy or social control, even if it is not originally designed to do so. In that regard, they want assurance that the RBNZ will continue to issue physical cash. In response, the RBNZ said that it remains committed to a privacy-centric design for Digital Cash subject to financial integrity considerations. [Read more at the RBNZ]

The Bank of England (BoE) published a joint report with MIT Digital Currency Initiative (DCI) on how privacy enhancing technologies (PETs) could be used to enhance the privacy of a potential digital pound. The paper focused on pseudonymization, zero-knowledge proofs, and secure multiparty computing. It found that these technologies present opportunities for a central bank digital currency (CBDC) to be at least as private as current forms of digital money and potentially even more private as they mature. While PETs, on their own, do not guarantee privacy, the approaches explored in this paper seek to safeguard consumers’ private information, enable compliance with existing regulations, and strengthen trust and confidence in a digital pound, should one be launched in the future.

A paper co-written by a European Central Bank (ECB) staffer suggests required fungibility conditions for reserve asset-backed stablecoins issued by different issuers on different platforms. These include interoperable payment and settlement technologies, payment settlement finality, and seamless stablecoin convertibility into the quasi-ultimate means of payment (e.g., central bank money). Also, issuers should have sufficiently strong liquidity and capital positions to meet redemption obligations, including to cover potential variations in liquid off-chain asset price volatility.

The IMF published a Fintech Note that offers a framework to help countries navigate, as well as tools to help them manage, the trade-offs between central bank digital currency (CBDC) data use and privacy protection. It addresses retail CBDC, as data access and privacy-preserving considerations in a wholesale environment are similar to those of the traditional real-time gross settlement (RTGS) systems. It emphasizes the role of institutional arrangements, data collection, access and storage policies, design choices, and technological solutions. At a given level of preference for privacy, central banks can facilitate better use of CBDC data through robust transparency and accountability arrangements, sound policies, and judicious adoption of privacy-by-design approaches including the use of privacy-enhancing technologies.

The Bank of Japan (BOJ) published a survey of global deposit tokenization projects. With the emergence of stablecoins, these initiatives seem to seek an extension of functionality in payment and settlement systems by applying new technologies, such as distributed ledger technology (DLT), to bank deposits as a traditional means of payment. The main reason such initiatives prefer leveraging deposit money is said to be its affinity with the two-tier monetary system and possibly with existing laws or regulations. However, there remain some issues that require further clarification on how payments with tokenized deposits are categorized in the private law system, and how smart contracts provide implications for non-functional requirements and legal certainty.

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York (NY Fed) published a study of the impact and effectiveness of regulation in decentralized systems, using sanctions imposed in 2022 by the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) on the Tornado Cash (TC) crypto-asset mixer. It documented an immediate and lasting negative impact on TC following the sanction announcement. This conclusion was based on tracking Ethereum block proposers and the builders responsible for selecting transactions for settlement. Many large builders cooperated with the sanctions. A couple of builders who did not comply with the sanctions, acting for philosophical reasons rather than monetary motives, were responsible for most of the ongoing TC transactions.

The perceived benefits of cash include privacy preservation (63%), immediate and reliable settlement of payments (47%), and easy expense overview (41%). [Read more at BuBa]
The Bank of Canada (BOC) published a paper on how a central bank digital currency (CBDC) changes monetary policy transmission in a general equilibrium model with nominal rigidities, liquidity frictions, and a banking sector where commercial banks face a leverage constraint. It finds that the effects of a shock to the Taylor rule that governs interest on central bank reserves, is magnified with the introduction of a fixed-interest-rate CBDC. More generally, whether CBDC magnifies or abates the response of the economy depends on the type of shock (e.g., interest rate or quantity of reserves shock). The paper also finds that the response of the economy depends on the monetary policy framework—whether the central bank implements monetary policy through reserves or through CBDC—as well as central bank balance sheet rules that govern the quantity of CBDC and reserves.
