The European Central Bank is launching Pontes, a distributed ledger technology ecosystem for European wholesale markets to enable tokenized asset transactions settled in central bank money. The project, approved in 2025, aims to operate alongside the euro system's existing settlement infrastructure, with a pilot phase starting on September 21, 2026.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

The ECB's rollout of Pontes shifts wholesale market infrastructure towards tokenized assets settled in central bank money, opening a path for fintech firms to integrate with this system and compete in a redefining digital financial market.
