Digital Euro Conference 2027

The Digital Euro Association plans keynotes, panel discussions, and roundtables on how digital money will work in European payments and financial markets.

The digital euro discussions will cover what banks and payment providers need to prepare, including how stores would accept payments and how people could pay offline. The European Central Bank has selected 36 payment providers for a pilot planned for the second half of 2027 to test payments in stores and between individuals.

Another question is where euro stablecoins and tokenized bank deposits fit into payments alongside the digital euro. A tokenized bank deposit is a claim on the bank that issued it. For businesses paying suppliers outside regular banking hours, a practical question is how those deposits could move between banks.

The conference will also examine how to settle tokenized securities in central bank money. For example, Pontes connects platforms that record tokenized securities to the existing payment infrastructure of the Eurosystem. The discussion on financial sovereignty asks how much of that infrastructure Europe should control.

The Digital Euro Association has yet to announce the speakers and session times for 2027. The conference will bring together people from central banks, payment companies, financial market infrastructure providers, and public institutions.

Finance Loop supported the 2026 edition as a partner and will share the 2027 conference with professionals working on digital money and payments.

The venue is Frankfurt School of Finance & Management, Adickesallee 32–34, 60322 Frankfurt am Main. The organizer offers tickets for attending in person or following the conference online.
