Getting ready to operate GNU Taler in Germany
Summary
NGI TALER announces the formation of Taler Operations AG in Bochum to operate GNU Taler in Germany and pursue an EMI license with BaFin, enabling Euro-denominated payments. GLS Bank previously planned to act as the EMI but withdrew, so the new entity will take over the regulatory role while the project remains open-source. The post outlines regulatory steps, the investor angle, and the ongoing NGI TALER efforts to expand Taler across the EU.
