The X post mentions a CBDC launch in the EU by Oct 2025, covering both wholesale and retail. It also notes Israel’s prep for a digital shekel, with a 110-page design doc. This aligns with the ECB’s digital euro project, which aims to provide a digital legal tender, though their final decision is set for Nov 2025. Israel’s move is influenced by the EU’s progress, but no issuance is confirmed yet. Both projects are part of a global CBDC trend, despite pushback in places like the US over privacy concerns.
