HELSINKI, Finland – 14 April 2023 – Finnish fintech company Membrane Finance has launched EUROe on Arbitrum One, allowing users within the ecosystem to access Europe’s first and only EU-supervised full-reserve stablecoin.
EUROe transforms fiat Euro into a 1:1 pegged digital currency now transactable on the Arbitrum One blockchain, in addition to existing support for the 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 bring EUROe onto Arbitrum One, making it the first fiat-backed euro-stablecoin natively available on the blockchain. Arbitrum’s sprawling ecosystem of DeFi innovation makes the launch ever so more exciting,” comments Juha Viitala, CEO and Co-founder of Membrane Finance. “We cannot wait to see how EUROe will be utilised in projects on Arbitrum,” he continues.
“Stablecoins are an essential part of the transition towards blockchain-based money infrastructure, and Europeans deserve to have a 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.
EUROe can now be implemented in smart contracts and transacted on Arbitrum One. Smart contracts are self-executing programs that automatically execute payments or other actions on the blockchain based on a series of programmed parameters.
