Neutral
Neutral for direct price impact because di change na mainly na governance and communication shift, no be new immediate digital-asset regulation. Di articles dey show say rate-setting go still depend on data (continuity risk small), and that usually reduce sudden market repricing.
Main extra driver na be di digital euro story: Vujčić support for digital euro as cash complement and im likely role for key “launch vs. wait” decisions during im vice-presidency fit affect sentiment and longer-dated expectations. Still, di project decision never finalize and no clear launch timeline dey near term, so short-term volatility limited.
As result, traders fit pay more attention to digital euro roadmap and tokenized finance themes, but without clear, tradable catalyst for any particular cryptocurrency, di net effect on prices expected to be neutral.
