EURØP is a new stablecoin in the EU market from Schuman Financial to compete with rivals.
Schuman Financial, a French-licensed fintech company, has announced the launch of its MiCA-compliant euro-backed stablecoin EURØP. This token is pegged to the euro and is set to revolutionize the European crypto market.
According to the announcement, the stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the euro is designed to improve global payments, enable seamless Foreign Exchange (FX) trading, and support the tokenized Real-World Assets (RWA) market. With the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulations now providing a clear framework for stablecoins, EURØP aims to fill in the gap in the euro-based digital payment system.
EURØP Stablecoin to Launch on Ethereum and Polygon
Schuman Financial is positioning itself as a key player in the post-MiCA crypto landscape. The company’s stablecoin, EURØP, will be launched on Ethereum ETH $1 807 24h volatility: 0.7% Market cap: $217.61 B Vol. 24h: $16.56 B and Polygon POL $0.19 24h volatility: 2.3% Market cap: $1.65 B Vol. 24h: $74.10 M . EURØP will leverage the robust ecosystems of these blockchains to ensure high-speed transactions, low fees, and compatibility with decentralized applications.
Furthermore, Schuman Financial announced plans to expand to more blockchain networks and work with Decentralized Finance (DeFi) protocols soon. These changes will increase EURØP’s usefulness in liquidity pools, lending markets, and decentralized exchanges. The stablecoin will also turn real-world assets, like real estate, bonds, and commodities, into digital tokens.
Meanwhile, this development comes after a successful $7.36 million seed funding round in September. The backing from RockawayX adds significant credibility to Schuman Financial’s efforts to make EURØP a top stablecoin.
Other prominent backers include Kraken Ventures, Gnosis VC, Nexo Ventures, Lightspeed Faction, Bankless Ventures, and Delta Blockchain Fund.
With plans for expansion and partnerships on the horizon, EURØP would become a key player in shaping the future of euro-denominated digital assets.
