Odaily reports: The European Central Bank (ECB) has announced the launch of a new round of applications for its digital euro innovation platform, inviting fintech companies, payment institutions, and other organizations to explore AI agents participating in digital euro payments. The project will be divided into two parts: practical testing and future application workshops. The practical testing will take place from January to June 2027, during which participants will develop prototypes for features such as electronic receipts, multi-party transactions, and conditional payments; the workshops will explore AI payments, micropayments, machine-to-machine transactions, and the use of the digital euro in public services.

In addition, the ECB has selected 36 banks and payment institutions, including Revolut, Stripe, and Deutsche Bank, to participate in another 12-month digital euro pilot, which is scheduled to launch in the second half of 2027. The final issuance of the digital euro still requires EU legislation and subsequent ECB decisions. (Cointelegraph)

Odaily reports that Benjamin Cowen, founder of ITC Crypto, has questioned the bearish outlook on Bitcoin for Q4. He noted that from a technical perspective, current market trends favor the bulls, with the gap between BTC's price and its May high now less than 1%, making it difficult to draw conclusions about the market's direction before entering Q4.

Benjamin Cowen further pointed out that historically, when BTC breaks above the 50-week moving average — as seen in 2019 and 2023 — it typically rises 20% to 30% within 1 to 2 weeks. However, this cycle's move has been notably more moderate, possibly influenced by seasonal factors and rising US Treasury yields. Meanwhile, Bitcoin has continued to demonstrate resilience, warranting a reassessment of the bearish thesis for Q4.
