EURC on Avalanche: Expanding Access to the Euro

Euro Coin, or EURC, launched on Ethereum in 2022 to provide businesses and developers with a fully reserved, euro-backed stablecoin they can trust. Euro Coin helps unlock new opportunities for global commerce, faster and more efficient FX, and greater access to the euro around the world.

Today, we’re bringing Euro Coin natively to Avalanche, which now makes Euro Coin the latest Circle-issued stablecoin to go multi-chain.
