Privacy is crucial for the digital Euro, ECB public survey reveals
The European Central Bank (ECB) is now working on developing the digital Euro and has conducted a survey to find out what Europeans want most from the digital currency. Most of the respondents say the digital Euro must protect their privacy.
Europeans want the digital Euro to protect privacy
The ECB published the findings of its recent survey regarding the development of the digital Euro. An overwhelming number of the respondents said they want the digital Euro to protect their privacy.In its press release earlier today, the ECB said most of the respondents were concerned about privacy. “The analysis confirms, by and large, our initial findings: what the public and professionals want the most from such a digital currency is privacy (43%), followed by security (18%), the ability to pay across the euro area (11%), no additional costs (9%) and offline usability (8%),” the report said.
ECB Executive Board member Fabio Panetta pointed out that the ECB is only successful if it meets the needs of Europeans. He assured them that the apex bank would do its best to ensure the digital Euro meets the expectations of citizens discussed in the public consultation.
The report revealed that privacy is a crucial feature for both the public and professionals, especially merchants and other businesses. The ECB added that both groups support implementing requirements that would avoid illicit transactions, with only a few respondents supporting full anonymity.
Banks should play a role in the digital economy
A hot debate in the financial space is the position of traditional banks in the digital economy. Some people believe that banks will no longer be relevant when central bank digital currencies are rolled out.However, most of the respondents feel that banks should still have a role to play in the emerging economy. The ECB said, “More than two-thirds of respondents acknowledge the importance of intermediaries providing innovative services that allow access to a digital euro and indicate that it should be integrated into existing banking and payment systems. They would like additional services provided on top of basic digital euro payments.”
Furthermore, some of the respondents feel the digital Euro should make cross-border payments faster and cheaper. They believe that the currency needs to be usable outside the Eurozone area but that it should come with limits.
The ECB concluded that it received several technical suggestions regarding the digital Euro and will work on them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
