The European Central Bank (ECB) and several EU governments are engaged in a conflict over the regulatory framework for the digital euro. Countries like France and Germany believe that the ECB is exceeding its authority by controlling the amount of digital currency individuals can hold in centralized wallets. The dispute raises concerns about financial stability during economic downturns and personal financial freedom. Some member states argue for greater input in shaping the digital euro's framework, viewing it as a broader financial issue. The conflict reflects a global trend, as 134 countries are currently studying central bank digital currencies.
