Key facts

  • Revolut has launched its first stablecoin, EURR, a euro-pegged token.
  • The stablecoin is initially available in Denmark, Poland, and Portugal.
  • EURR is issued by Bridge Building S.A. and is compliant with EU's MiCA rules.

Revolut has commenced the rollout of its inaugural stablecoin, EURR, a token pegged to the euro. Initially, the stablecoin is accessible to select customers in Denmark, Poland, and Portugal. This phased launch is expected to extend to other European Economic Area (EEA) markets later in the year, contingent on product, operational, and regulatory readiness.

EURR is issued by Bridge Building S.A., a Luxembourg-based entity that is part of Stripe's stablecoin infrastructure company, Bridge. Revolut has stated that EURR will be incorporated into its retail application, will operate across multiple blockchain networks, and can be transferred to external digital wallets.

The introduction of EURR aligns with the European Union's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation. This launch coincides with Revolut's decision to withdraw Tether's USDt from the EEA and Switzerland, with remaining USDT balances set to be converted into customers' base currencies after August 31.

EURR is designed to maintain a one-euro value and is backed by reserves managed by Bridge in compliance with MiCA rules. Revolut Digital Assets Europe is facilitating the offering of this token. Revolut views EURR as the initial phase of a broader stablecoin strategy, with plans to develop tokens denominated in other currencies through separate regulatory processes.
