Written by Digital Euro Association | Apr 30, 2026 10:44:52 AM

On 26 March 2026, the Digital Euro Conference 2026 brought the European digital money ecosystem together in Frankfurt am Main for a full day of discussion on CBDCs, stablecoins, tokenized commercial bank money, payments infrastructure, interoperability, and the future architecture of money in Europe. Hosted by the Digital Euro Association (DEA), the conference once again convened participants from central banks, regulators, financial institutions, technology providers, academia, and the broader digital money ecosystem.

Structured across three dedicated spaces — the Main Stage (Audimax), the Innovation Room, and the Roundtable Room — DEC26 was designed to connect strategic vision with practical implementation. The agenda made clear that the conversation around digital money is no longer limited to high-level theory. Instead, it is increasingly focused on infrastructure, adoption, governance, readiness, and how different forms of digital money can operate together in real-world environments.
