Philip Lane, chief economist of the European Central Bank (ECB), said that the US dollar stablecoin and the electronic payment system dominated by US technology giants are taking up an increasing share of the European financial system, and Europe needs a digital euro to meet this challenge.

He emphasized that the digital euro will provide a safe and universally accepted digital payment option under the European regulatory framework, reduce dependence on foreign payment systems, and limit the influence of US dollar stablecoins in the euro area. Lane also pointed out that 99% of the current stablecoin market consists of tokens anchored to the US dollar, which may lead to the euro area payment system gradually directly or indirectly anchoring the US dollar instead of the euro.
