According to PANews, European Central Bank Executive Board member Piero Cipollone has indicated that the digital euro could become a reality by 2029 as efforts to advance the project intensify. Last week, Eurozone finance ministers reached an agreement on setting limits for customer holdings, which Cipollone described as a 'significant breakthrough' and a sign of momentum. Speaking at the Bloomberg Financial Future event on Tuesday, he noted that discussions at the member state level are progressing smoothly, with mid-2029 being a reasonable target for the launch.
The primary obstacle remains the need for legislative support from the European Parliament. After submitting a progress report on October 24, lawmakers will have six weeks to propose amendments, followed by five months of discussions. By early May, the Parliament's stance should be clearer. Cipollone also expressed optimism that a general guideline, or agreement among member states, could be reached by the end of the year.#DigitalEuro #2029 #LegislativeProgress #EuropeanParliament #ECB #PieroCipollone #Eurozone #Bloomberg
🚀 U.S. Senate Advances Major Cryptocurrency Legislation

According to BlockBeats, U.S. Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott announced significant progress in advancing a comprehensive cryptocurrency bill into law following a meeting with top banking CEOs. On Thursday, Scott met with Brian Moynihan of Bank of America, Jane Fraser of Citigroup, and Charlie Scharf of Wells Fargo to discuss this landmark legislation.
The proposed bill aims to establish regulatory guidelines for the digital asset industry and empower agencies like the SEC and CFTC. This week, the three banking CEOs are expected to meet with senators to further discuss the cryptocurrency legislative proposal. The meetings are reportedly held separately with Democrats and Republicans, both described as "cordial."
Insiders revealed that discussions covered topics such as yields, decentralized finance, and anti-money laundering measures. The banking association has identified gaps in the GENIUS Act, which became law this summer. They argue that the law inadequately restricts stablecoin issuers from paying interest to holders, potentially making these assets more attractive as value storage and credit mechanisms rather than just payment tools, thus creating "market-distorting incentives" for the banking sector.
Additionally, banking groups believe that the restrictions imposed by the GENIUS Act can be easily circumvented by exchanges, brokers, and other related parties.#USSENATE #CryptocurrencyLegislation #BankingCommittee #TimScott #DigitalAssets #SEC #CFTC #Stablecoin #GENIUSAct #DecentralizedFinance #AntiMoneyLaundering #BankingCEOs #WellsFargo #BankOfAmerica #Citigroup #RegulatoryGuidelines #LegislativeProgress
🚀 White House Rejects Targeted Provisions in Crypto Legislation

The Executive Director of the U.S. Presidential Digital Asset Advisory Committee, Patrick Witt, has stated that the White House will not accept provisions in crypto market structure legislation that directly target U.S. President Donald Trump or his family's digital asset business. According to Odaily, these provisions have been clearly marked as a 'red line.'
Witt emphasized that previous anti-corruption or ethical clauses proposed by some Democratic lawmakers are 'completely unacceptable,' stressing that the core of the bill is crypto market regulation, not ethical scrutiny. He expressed hope that Democrats would propose a more 'reasonable and negotiable' version to advance the legislation.
Witt also highlighted that the White House's current priority is to facilitate a bill that can be submitted for presidential approval, seeking a compromise between the banking and crypto industries regarding stablecoin yield differences. However, he acknowledged that the Democratic push to restrict government senior officials and their families from participating in the crypto industry remains a significant obstacle to legislative progress.#WhiteHouse #CryptoLegislation #PatrickWitt #DigitalAsset #CryptoMarket #TrumpFamily #AntiCorruption #Stablecoin #LegislativeProgress #DemocraticLawmakers
