About Eurite (EURI), The First Bank-Backed Stablecoin
Eurite (EURI), launched on Saturday, August 24, 2024, is a bank-backed Euro-pegged stablecoin. This means EURI is backed 1:1 by EUR cash, ensuring price stability and risk reduction. It was issued by Banking Circle S.A., a payment bank based in Luxembourg.
During the launch of the stablecoin, Banking Circle S.A. stated that the stablecoin would be launched first on the Binance crypto exchange, then CoinUT Switzerland AG, before launching on other crypto exchanges.
The stablecoin was touted to offer efficiency, stability, and speed in financial transactions, such as out-of-hours settlements, remittances, and in decentralized finance (DeFi).
EURI is fully compliant with the European Union’s Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation (MiCA) stringent regulations. As a result, transacting with EURI offers improved credibility and trust for its users.
EURI is both a BEP-20 token on the BNB Smart Chain and an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain. Hence, it offers accessibility and versatility across various platforms.
According to Head of Web 3, Banking Circle, Daniel Lee,
“The launch of EURI establishes strong foundations and functionality for Banking Circle that will enable us to launch stablecoins and tokenized money in the future, providing more choice and optionality for the market.
