Benjamin Duve has joined the European Central Bank.
Duve will continue working in the field of tokenisation of money and digital assets. Asset Servicing Times reported that he had left BNY Mellon in February.
Duve joins the innovation team, led by Holger Neuhaus.
On his new role, Duve commented on LinkedIn. He says: “There have been many meaningful discussions thus far with my very experienced colleagues here already on their views, better understanding the depth of these functions and the central banker's perspective.
“With the Eurosystem exploratory work on new technologies for settlement of wholesale financial transactions in central bank money we are already at the forefront of innovation globally”.
