Ever wonder why Britain and the EU might push back against dollar-pegged digital currencies? There's a compelling argument gaining traction: surrendering to USD-based stablecoins could undermine monetary sovereignty. For regions with established financial systems, adopting dollar-denominated digital assets isn't just a tech choice—it's a geopolitical one. Some economists argue that Europe's best move is building its own digital currency infrastructure rather than riding America's coattails. The stakes? Control over monetary policy, financial independence, and the future shape of cross-border payments. Worth watching how this plays out.

If Europe is truly tied to the USD stablecoin, it won't be far from losing complete control.

To be honest, Europe has truly woken up this time. Don’t be fooled into being crippled by USD stablecoins.
Why are we still following behind the US? We need to build our own infrastructure.
If the European Central Bank keeps stalling, it will lose its voice.
This is a typical case of financial colonization; we must stay vigilant.
The term "monetary sovereignty" is becoming more and more poignant.
Rather than relying on USD stablecoins, it’s better to bet on Europe’s autonomous solutions.
It seems the EU will ultimately be forced to build its own system; the question is whether it can succeed.

NGL, if the EU really gets hijacked by USD stablecoins, that would be shooting themselves in the foot.

Is it really time for Europe to wake up and have not reacted to being kidnapped by the US dollar for so long?
Isn't it common sense to make your own decisions about your own money?
To put it bluntly, it is a matter of the right to speak, and whoever controls the infrastructure will control the rules
The EU should have done its own CBDC a long time ago, and it will lose one day later

NGL Europe must really build its own digital currency infrastructure, and it can't follow the United States in everything

To put it bluntly, Europe does not want to be kidnapped by the United States, and its own CBDC is the king

Europe's own CBDC is the right answer, don't be manipulated by the US knife all day long

Europe really has to make its own digital currency, otherwise it will have to be pinched to death by the US dollar

Europe is right to build its own digital currency infrastructure, so why should it be led by the US dollar?
