The European Central Bank (ECB) considers Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) as “one of several possibilities” when it comes to assessing possible technical solutions, according to Yves Mersch, ECB Executive Board Member.
At the Deutsche Bank Transaction Bankers' Forum 2016 on Monday, Mersch stated that not only is there “big demand for research into the DLT related questions and their policy implications,” the ECB is “certainly open to new technologies and, like many market players, have launched some experimental work.”
