Germany is considering supporting Bundesbank President Joachim Nagel for the European Central Bank (ECB) presidency if an opening arises.

Nagel, who has been president of the Bundesbank since 2022, would be a dark horse candidate in the race to succeed ECB President Christine Lagarde.

Lagarde's potential early resignation has sparked speculation about a hypothetical vacancy at the ECB, and Nagel's chances are being weighed by German officials.

Nagel has expressed skepticism towards Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, describing them as 'digital tulips' in a 2025 interview.
