¿What is Euro Coin (EUROC)?
The Euro Coin (EUROC) is issued by Circle under the same full-reserve model as the USD Coin (USDC), a trusted dollar digital currency with more than $31 billion in circulation.
Designed for stability, Euro Coin is 100% backed by euros held in euro-denominated banking accounts so that it’s always redeemable 1:1 for euros. This can be done through the integration with Silvergate Bank with its euro-denominated fiat accounts.
According to CoinGecko currently, EUROC ranks #1662 in terms of Market Cap with €2.2 Million.
