While the eurozone is not only pushing ahead with the digital euro, but also the pioneering "Wholesale CBDC" project, we have a first-hand expert with us - Dr Martin Diehl from the Deutsche Bundesbank. Accompanied by presenters Regina Deisemann and Anja Kamping, this podcast episode provides exclusive insights into the details of the Wholesale CBDC. Discover what exactly it is, how it connects to distributed ledger technology (DLT) and what impact it has on treasury.
