Critics, including Markus Ferber and Johan Van Overtveldt, argue the ECB must first prove it can maintain a stable financial network, while others, like Jussi Saramo, support the project but call for improvements.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"640\" data-end=\"995\">Despite the backlash, the ECB insists it will be ready by October, with Christine Lagarde highlighting leadership changes to keep the initiative on track. If delayed, Europe could lose its competitive edge in digital currencies to other nations. To succeed, the ECB must enhance security, transparency, and collaboration with financial and tech sectors.<\/p>\n<style>\n    .dark-mode .read-more {background-color: #343a40 !important;}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"read-more pb-3 pt-3 pt-md-2 px-3 my-4 border bg-light\">\n    <h5 class=\"text-uppercase border-bottom mb-3 pb-1 d-none d-md-block\">READ MORE:<\/h5>\n    <a class=\"article row\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/bitcoin-could-become-wall-streets-most-traded-asset-according-to-tom-lee\/\" title=\"Bitcoin Could Become Wall Street\u2019s Most Traded Asset, According to Tom Lee\">\n        <div class=\"contentRight col-4\">\n            <span class=\"imgContainer mt-0\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image img-defer\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/07\/pexels-jonathanborba-14891540-bitcoin-240x170.webp\">\n            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"contentLeft col-8\">\n            <h4 class=\"title mb-0\">Bitcoin Could Become Wall Street\u2019s Most Traded Asset, According to Tom Lee<\/h4>           \n            \n        <\/div>        \n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p data-start=\"997\" data-end=\"1500\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">The concerns surrounding the digital euro project reflect broader hesitations about the adoption of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).
