alt Hacker NewsI've been following this for a while. The deadline for rollout for consumers is the end of this year, but I'm not sure every country is going to make it.
The idea is that every person will have the option to use a wallet. For businesses of a certain size or type (those involved in strongly authenticating their customers, or very large platforms with more than 45M EU users) have to accept it by the end of 2027.

As long as it's required to have an account with Apple or Google I'm not going to use it.

And the rest of the population will be effectively bullied into also using it because companies/service-providers make using alternative methods much harder to use, because they are more expensive.
It's unfortunately predictable how this will play out.
