A European Central Bank (ECB) simulation on Friday showed that in the event of a run on commercial banks, the digital euro could result in as much as 700 billion euros ($810.88 billion) in deposits being diverted, leaving about a dozen banks in the euro zone facing a liquidity crunch.
The study, requested by European lawmakers, aims to assess the risks posed by digital currencies - essentially electronic wallets backed by the European Central Bank - to the banking sector in different scenarios, including a hypothetical "risk-off wave" scenario.
