By Orion Desk
The Governing Council has adopted amendments to the legal acts governing the Eurosystem monetary policy framework, which are set to take effect on 30 November 2026. Furthermore, the central bank has officially launched the Pontes pilot project to facilitate the settlement of wholesale tokenized asset transactions using central bank money.
These operational updates reflect the ECB's ongoing efforts to refine market infrastructure and payment systems. Traders monitoring euro-denominated assets should note these adjustments to the institutional framework as the bank continues its work on the digital euro and broader payment system oversight.
