Stability you can trust

As a fully reserved stablecoin, Euro Coin is 100% backed by euros, so that it’s always redeemable 1:1. Reserves are bankruptcy remote, which means they are held separately from Circle’s operating funds. Every month, attestations provide assurance that the value of Euro Coin reserves are greater than the amount in circulation.
