what's Euro Coin?
Euro Coin (EURC) is a stablecoin issued by Circle, designed to maintain a 1:1 peg with the euro. It operates on multiple blockchains including Ethereum, Avalanche, Solana, Stellar, and Base, enabling seamless transfers and integration into decentralized applications. Backed by euro reserves held in regulated financial institutions, EURC ensures redeemability at par value, providing stability for payments, remittances, and DeFi activities within the eurozone and beyond. The token's issuance follows a full-reserve model similar to USDC, with transparency through regular attestations of reserves. Users can mint EURC by depositing euros via Circle's platform, and it supports composability in smart contracts for lending, trading, and yield farming. As a regulated digital asset, EURC complies with financial standards, facilitating cross-border transactions with reduced friction compared to traditional banking rails.
Euro Coin hit 246k daily transactions, an all-time high.
