Key Takeaways
Digital euro onboarding should take under 20 minutes, while P2P transfers must take no more than 60 seconds to encourage adoption.
Automated wallet funding and co-badged cards could remove friction and make retail payments as fast as existing card transactions.
Despite its sovereignty benefits, the digital euro risks weak demand because many consumers prefer familiar payment methods and question why they need another option.
The European Central Bank may succeed in building a secure and resilient digital euro, but its adoption could ultimately depend on something far simpler: whether people find it easier to use than their existing payment methods.
