ECB Exploring Distributed Ledger Technology for Interbank Settlements: Panetta

The European Central Bank (ECB) is looking at “the potential” of distributed ledger technology (DLT) in improving the efficiency of interbank settlements, said Fabio Panetta, a member of the executive board at the ECB.

After listing the many benefits of DLT, Panetta also highlighted some drawbacks, and made a case for a system that builds on the ECB’s existing infrastructure for wholesale settlements, instead of building a new one based entirely on DLT.

A distributed ledger is a decentralized database that is maintained and updated independently by individual participants in a large network. Wholesale central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), which are typically framed as a new type of DLT-based central bank digital currency that can be used exclusively for settling interbank transfers, have actually existed “for decades” according to Panetta.

“But wholesale CBDC is not synonymous with DLT, as it can be based on any digital technology,” Panetta, who is a vocal critic of crypto, said during a Monday speech. In the European Union, banks can already settle wholesale digital transactions using the ECB’s own TARGET Services on a centralized ledger, he said.

Cryptocurrency markets reached a market capitalization of around $3 trillion in 2021, which prompted central banks around

Russian crypto scammers open offices to attract more investors

More and more financial and cryptocurrency pyramids at Russian investors are opening physical offices in the country. Russia’s central bank recently expressed concern about the trend, which is seen as evidence that scammers expect demand to rise.

Ponzi schemes and illegal forex dealers in Russia, many of which currently specialize in cryptocurrency investments and settlement opportunities, are going offline, Izvestia reports, citing the Central Bank of the Russian Federation (CBR).

For the first time in recent years, the organizers of such scams are opening offices where they are trying to convince potential victims to invest in virtual money or offer services to circumvent foreign sanctions and government restrictions. Experts say that personal contact is always more effective for this purpose.

They also warn that sharing information with dubious platforms often results in the loss of funds, both fiat and crypto. The offline trend indicates that scammers are preparing for increased demand as Russians’ access to global financial assets has become extremely problematic, the report notes.

The sanctions imposed by the West in connection with the military operation in Ukraine, and the currency restrictions imposed in response by the Russian authorities, have increased interest in crypto assets. Many Russians buy bitcoin
