The press release confirms that the Eurosystem will develop a settlement platform that is interoperable with trans-European automated real-time gross settlement express transfer system (referred to as TARGET) services, and will also consider a more integrated, long-term solution for settling DLT transactions in central bank money which will include international considerations. This expansion follows the Eurosystem's work last year on new technologies for wholesale central bank money settlement, which comprised various settlement experiments and included bank, financial market and DLT platform participants.
