Digital tokens pegged to the euro and backed by reserves, used for payments and settlement; a small, growing niche in a dollar-dominated stablecoin market.
Qivalis, a consortium backed by 37 European banks, received a Dutch e-money institution licence and plans to issue a euro stablecoin in the coming months. It must still publish a MiCA white paper before it can issue.

Schuman Financial, eToro and nine other firms formed a consortium to push EURØP, a euro e-money token with about EUR 15.5 million in supply. Each member decides what to contribute and when. The group has given no listing dates or volume commitments for its challenge to dollar stablecoins.
Reality
SwissBorg joined Schuman Financial, eToro and LCX as a founding member behind EURØP, a MiCA euro token holding 102 euros of reserves per 100 issued. The only incentives on record are retail ones that end in August 2026, so real demand gets tested once they lapse.
Reality
The whole euro stablecoin market runs to about $835m, and more than 80% of it is two coins issued by Circle and SG-Forge. That makes Ethereum's chain share largely a deployment decision taken by two companies.
Reality
Token Terminal data puts euro stablecoins at $848.1m, up about $156m since January, roughly what the $298.7bn dollar segment managed over the same eight months, which says more about where dollar issuance stopped than about euro demand.
Reality
EURR is about 1,570 times smaller than Circle's EURC and locked inside one app, which is what a distribution test looks like when the goal is replacing USDT for 16 million crypto-active customers rather than earning reserve income.
Reality
EURR is issued by a Stripe-owned Luxembourg entity, not by Revolut. The regulated fintechs are distributing on-chain money; the balance-sheet obligation sits elsewhere.
