FAQ

EURC (pronounced E-U-R-C) is now the official name and symbol for Circle's euro-backed stablecoin. The name “Euro Coin” and symbol “EUROC” were used in the past and are being phased out. You may continue to see the old name and symbol displayed on apps, wallets, and block explorers for a period of time as these apps and services adjust their UIs to reflect the new name and symbol.

Note: The existing token addresses remain the same; we will not be introducing a separate token. In the coming months, we will update the name and symbol on the existing token addresses to EURC, which will make it easier for apps, wallets, and block explorers to implement this naming change.
