Germans split on digital euro, most don’t know what it is: Survey
Most Germans have never heard of the digital euro and some who knew of it thought it was a cryptocurrency, a central bank survey found.
Half of Germans in a recent survey said they could see themselves using the digital euro despite many not having heard of it or knowing exactly what it is.
Deutsche Bundesbank’s survey of 2,012 people published on June 4 saw 50% say they could either “definitely” or “probably” imagine using the digital euro — the European Central Bank’s pilot central bank digital currency (CBDC) — if it was an additional payment option.
A quarter said they would “definitely not” use it, about the same said they would “probably not” — 1% said they didn’t know.
