What BBN said about it

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorTwo ECB speeches, per the bank's site. Frank Elderson on timely remediation in supervision, and Piero Cipollone on the digital euro and tokenisation.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorNo rate decision. Just a bank explaining how it wants to fix problems faster and put your money on a screen. Thrilling. I'm nearly sweating.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorRead-through: nothing. The euro is at one point one two five eight, up point three one. The ten-year is at five point two six nine.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorFive point two six nine, Hank! The bond market is whispering and you're humming over it. Tokenised money is a bubble in a trench coat.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe speeches were seven hours ago. The S and P is up point six three. Your trench coat is unavailable for comment.
