@richardturrin 4/ From mBridge’s explosive growth to green incentives paid in digital yuan, China is showing what happens when CBDC meets real-world banking. 📃 Read all about it 👉 https://t.co/HmsV8v9NL2

@richardturrin 3/ This does not threaten US stablecoins. The comparison is 'dead wrong', Turrin says. e-CNY isn’t competing with stablecoins in trade, and its yield comes from tokenised bank deposits, not issuer risk-taking.

@richardturrin 2/ That’s why e-CNY 2.0 now pays interest ➡️ not to win retail users, but to work for banks and commercial use. Treating it as M1 lets banks build loans, trade finance, and cross-border products directly on digital yuan.

@richardturrin 1/ By late 2025, e-CNY processed 3.4B transactions worth ~$2.3T, an 800%+ jump since 2023. More importantly, China learned a key lesson: digital money doesn’t scale without banks fully integrated into the system.

🧵 China’s digital yuan is back in the headlines ➡️ this time for paying interest. Some call it a failure. Best-selling author @richardturrin calls that completely wrong. In reality, it signals how far e-CNY has come 👉 https://t.co/HmsV8v9NL2

@vonderleyen @_iwonabiernat 4/ Europe has the capital (€35T in savings) but without a single investable market, access stays slow and fragmented. We spoke with EU-INC’s Iwona Biernat on how a 28th Regime could help Europe scale from within. 📃 Read more on this subject ➡️ https://t.co/gUH3S4SQiq

@vonderleyen @_iwonabiernat 3/ The stakes are especially high in fintech and payments, where companies need to raise large rounds and scale across borders fast. A common corporate standard could lower legal risk, cut costs, and let capital move through Europe more freely.

@vonderleyen @_iwonabiernat 2/ That structural gap is exactly what EU-INC is trying to fix. The proposal: one European company structure, a central digital registry, and standardised tools for fundraising and employee equity.
