It's one and the same thing, but I don't understand why anyone reacts to such statements considering that the ECB mostly had negative opinions towards Bitcoin, especially after Christine Lagarde became president in 2019. To me, it is quite logical that people in such positions have exactly such opinions, as if the central bank of England or the American FED think differently.
The only difference is that in the US big capital can influence political decisions, while in the EU there are obviously no such big players lobbying for their interests.
I've been following ECB reports on BTC since way back in 2012, if I recall correctly, and I'm all too familiar with their stance on this new asset class. The ECB has always been pretty conservative, wanting to protect the EUR at all costs since it's essentially the EU superpower. They couldn't stomach the EUR losing ground to inflation post-Covid, so they started firing shots at BTC, often with convoluted and biased arguments.
I do see a slight shift in their tone though, because at least they're not outright denying BTC potential anymore. They've even admitted that BTC could become so successful it might create societal imbalances, which is a pretty big concession ^^
The ECB opinions usually fly under the radar, but with BTC recent success and the hype around BTC Spot ETFs, any dissenting views are bound to cause a stir. I doubt the ECB can shake BTC fans faith, we're all used to dismissing their reports as easily as we'd dismiss a WSJ article while watching BTC hit $71K.
