馃挾 Europe's Stablecoin Wake-Up Call
馃挾 Europe's Dollar Problem
Europe's dollar dependency problem is real. The continent has relied heavily on repackaged USD stablecoins while native euro solutions lag behind.
Monerium's EURe offers a different approach:
- Native euro stablecoin with proper banking integration
- Uses SEPA payment rails for seamless transfers
- Operates under clear regulatory framework
- Provides web3 IBANs for traditional banking compatibility
The numbers tell the story: Global stablecoin market sits at $255B, but euro-backed tokens represent only $14B compared to $241B in USD stablecoins.
Key benefits of native euro stablecoins:
- Reduces reliance on US dollar infrastructure
- Keeps European deposits within EU banking system
- Maintains ECB's monetary policy influence
- Enables faster, cheaper cross-border payments
Real-world integration includes partnerships with Gnosis Pay and traditional banking systems, bridging the gap between crypto and conventional finance.
Former ECB board member Lorenzo Bini Smaghi warns that staying on the sidelines means accepting marginalization in global finance. Europe needs to act decisively to maintain its financial sovereignty.
