(7) Future developments in digital payments may affect the role of the euro in retail payment markets both in the European Union and internationally. Many central banks around the world are currently exploring the issuance of central bank digital currencies (‘CBDCs’) and some countries have already issued a CBDC. In addition, so-called third country stablecoins not denominated in euro, could, if widely used for payments, displace euro denominated payments in the Union’s economy by satisfying demand for programmable payments (which are referred as conditional payments in the context of this Regulation), including in e- commerce, capital markets or industry 4.0. A digital euro would therefore be important to maintain the role of the euro in the digital age. However, the digital euro is not intended to replace cash.
