The European Central Bank rolled out a new system to link its payment system to blockchain-based financial markets.
- The European Central Bank plans to invest a small portion of its reserves in euro-denominated tokenized securities, giving it direct exposure to blockchain-based financial markets.
- Purchases will settle in central bank money through Pontes, a new Eurosystem platform that connects the ECB’s payment system with tokenized finance.
- The ECB will determine the investments’ size and timing after preparatory work, while Pontes is expected to be fully implemented by 2028.
