The Riksbank has not taken a position on issuance, estimates implementation would take at least five years plus the time needed for legislative amendments, and says it is justified to begin preparing the legal framework now via a public inquiry; it adds that it would be advantageous to use the ECB's digital euro infrastructure.

As of 30 June 2026, FI had authorised Safello AB as a crypto-asset service provider, 77 firms authorised in other EU countries could serve Swedish consumers, and two applicants refused by FI have appealed.
