As written in my other comment, "cash but digital" is a valid use case imo. It's just most cryptocurrencies are terrible for that.
XMR/Monero is the best one I've seen, but GNU Taler has the potential to do that without the ecological harm. I hope it comes soon™
Seems like GNU Taler is still in heavy development. It probably would be the preferred system over XMR in real life as well due to how its designed.
Thanks, clarified my comment!

I couldn't find anything about what concrete technology they are looking at. Judging by the dates, it could potentially be GNU Taler! The dates coincide with the NGI Taler project: https://taler.net/en/news/2024-02.html
It does seem like it. I'd be glad to be able to use GNU Taler in the EU.
