The rise of digital currencies has prompted significant discourse regarding their potential impact on traditional economic systems and financial stability. This study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative analysis from econometric models and qualitative insights from expert interviews. We examine the adoption rates of digital currencies across EU member states, utilizing data from the European Central Bank and national financial authorities. Our findings indicate that while digital currencies can enhance transaction efficiency, they also pose substantial risks related to market volatility and regulatory challenges. Particularly, a 15% increase in digital currency adoption correlates with a 7% decrease in traditional banking transactions, highlighting the disruptive potential of these innovations. The study contributes to the ongoing debate on regulatory frameworks and offers empirical evidence on the transformative effects of digital currencies on the EU economy.
