This development takes place after COTI’s engagement with the Digital Shakel trials by the Bank of Israel. Hence, this move confirms the continued institutional interest in the privacy technology provided by COTI for CBDCs.COTI’s CEO and co-founder, Shahaf Bar-Geffen, shared remarks about this opportunity“Being invited to work with the ECB on such a consequential project is humbling, and a testament to the expertise and hard work of the COTI team. Privacy is a vital component for the future of Web3, ensuring user security and organizational compliance, and the same benefits apply to CBDCs. It’s critical that confidentiality is built into the core of these new systems, rather than merely being added as an afterthought.”ECB to Launch Digital EURO by 2026’s StartTo release its Digital EURO, ECB is eyeing 2026’s beginning.
