[French Finance Minister Calls for Development of Euro Stablecoins, Encourages EU Banks to Explore Tokenized Deposits] According to CoinDesk, French Finance Minister Roland Lescure stated that Europe needs more euro-denominated stablecoins and encouraged EU banks to accelerate their exploration of tokenized deposits, signaling a potential shift in the stance of the French government and central bank. He pointed out that the current scale of euro stablecoins is far below that of dollar stablecoins, which is 'unsatisfactory,' and emphasized that banks should further advance related innovations. In contrast, former Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire had taken a hardline stance against privately issued stablecoins, arguing that they threaten monetary sovereignty. Additionally, the Governor of the Bank of France, Francois Villeroy de Galhau, warned that stablecoins and tokenized private currencies could exacerbate 'monetary privatization,' posing challenges to national sovereignty.
