🇪🇺 EU TO PUSH EURO WITH STABLECOINS AND JOINT DEBT EU finance ministers will meet February 16 to discuss boosting the euro’s global role through euro-denominated stablecoins, digital currencies, and expanded joint EU debt issuance. The European Commission says a stronger euro would enhance financial security, lower borrowing costs, and reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar — especially as dollar-based stablecoins dominate global markets. The plan also calls for deeper euro debt markets, a European payments system, more trade invoicing in euros, and reforms to create a true single EU capital market.(*Walter Bloomberg)
