Speaking before the Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee of the European Parliament, the President of the European Central Bank said today that it was not in his power "to prohibit or regulate" digital currencies such as Bitcoin. Mario Draghi also considers that it is premature to consider these currencies as means of payment for the future. He said the ECB has not yet discussed their potential impact on the real economy.
It also advocates increasing cyber security in the field of financial technologies because "cyber-currencies generate cyber-risks".
