Membrane Finance has launched EUROe on Avalanche, enabling the ecosystem users to access future-proof and MiCA-compliant money.

HELSINKI, FINLAND, May 26, 2023/einpresswire.com / -- Finnish fintech company membrane finance has launched the first stablecoin compliant with the upcoming Markets in crypto Assets (MiCA) regulation on avalanche , enabling users within the ecosystem to access a future-proof form of on-chain money.

euroe is a full-reserve stablecoin regulated as electronic money until MiCA comes into force in 2024, after which it will be considered an electronic money token under the MiCA regulation. EUROe transforms fiat Euro into a 1:1 pegged digital currency now transactable on the Avalanche blockchain, in addition to existing support for the Avalanche, Ethereum, and Polygon blockchains. For each EUROe issued, at least one fiat Euro or equivalent exists in a European financial institution or bank, ring-fenced from Membrane Finance.

“The Membrane Finance team is excited to finally bring EUROe onto Avalanche after many months of testing in the Avalanche Fuji testnet. We've seen a huge uptake for EUROe on the Avalanche testnet, settling close to a million transactions and expect the sprawling Avalanche ecosystem to embrace EUROe now available for production use as well,” comments Juha Viitala, CEO and Co-founder of Membrane Finance.“With so much uptake in other ecosystems, especially for real-world asset transactions and institutional settlement, we expect the trend to continue on Avalanche as well,” he continues.

“Stablecoins are an essential part of the transition towards blockchain-based money infrastructure, and Europeans deserve to have a future-proof full-reserve euro stablecoin from the EU and regulated by an EU-based financial authority. EUROe hopefully brings more regular people to DeFi, who were previously unable to or worried about the volatility of cryptocurrencies,” concludes Viitala.
