According to Mars Finance, CoinDesk reported that the Governing Council of the European Central Bank has approved the initiation of two research projects using Central Bank funds to settle transactions with Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT), aimed at enhancing the efficiency of payment systems. The short-term solution "Pontes" will connect the DLT platform to TARGET services, with a pilot expected to start in the third quarter of 2026; the long-term solution "Appia" focuses on global operations and DLT solution analysis. The central bank stated that this move demonstrates its commitment to supporting innovation while ensuring the safety and efficiency of financial infrastructure.
