They highlight Bitcoin on Page 24, and the Lightning Network on Page 27.
They had a mixed review of Bitcoin overall, but this was a bright spot:
The Bitcoin network (complemented by additional layers such as the Lightning Network to ensure speed and capacity, assuming that these are effective) may have some properties which would seem to make it potentially suitable to be the holy grail of cross-border payments

For the first time I read something from them which may indicate "they are getting it".

Alex Gladstein's take, begins with this Tweet:
1/ New @ECB paper: "Toward the Holy Grail of Cross-Border Payments"
"After more than 1,000 years of search, the holy grail of cross-border payments can be found within the next 10 years"
Guess what's discussed as a credible possibility?
