The European Central Bank (Banco Central Europeu or BCE) issued a public warning regarding fraudulent schemes that solicit funds by falsely promising guaranteed returns on the digital euro.

The central bank emphasized that the digital euro is not an investment product and advised residents to discard any unsolicited solicitations.
