ECB’s Cipollone Not Worried About Delay of Digital Euro Vote

ECB Executive Board member Piero Cipollone said he isn’t concerned about a likely delay in the European Parliament’s vote on the digital-euro project, which may move from May 5 to June 23. Speaking at a Peterson Institute virtual event, Cipollone framed the shift as news rather than a material setback. Market impact is likely limited: the comment reduces near-term policy uncertainty but probably won’t trigger sustained euro_price moves absent new developments. Attention may rise around the new June decision date, which could produce short-lived EUR volatility.
