The conflict centers on who will set limits on the amount of digital currency individuals can hold in central bank-backed wallets.<\/p>\n
As the ECB develops the digital euro to compete with U.S. payment giants like Visa and Mastercard, major EU nations, particularly France and Germany, argue that the central bank has overstepped its authority.
