What is EURC?

EURC is a fiat-backed euro stablecoin issued by Circle. It has about $541M in circulation, ranking #20 among the stablecoins CoinScoop tracks, and runs on 10 blockchains.

EURC is Circle's euro stablecoin and is issued under its MiCA licence in the EU.

In the issuer's words: EUROC is issued by Circle under the same full-reserve model as USD Coin (USDC). Euro Coin is 100% backed by euros held in euro-denominated banking accounts so that it's always redeemable 1:1 for euros.

EURC risks

Issuer and custody

Your claim is on the issuer and the banks or funds holding its reserves. A failure or freeze there can break the peg, as USDC briefly did in March 2023.

Freezes and blacklists

Fiat-backed issuers can usually freeze tokens at specific addresses, for example to comply with sanctions or court orders.

Bridged versions

Copies of a stablecoin moved by third-party bridges depend on those bridges. Prefer the issuer's native contract on each chain.

Regulation

Rules such as the US GENIUS Act and the EU's MiCA can restrict which stablecoins exchanges list in a given country.
