FAQs

EURC (pronounced E-U-R-C) is now the official name and symbol for Circle's euro-backed stablecoin. The name “Euro Coin” and symbol “EUROC” were used in the past and are being phased out. You may continue to see the old name and symbol displayed on apps, wallets, and block explorers for a period of time as these apps and services adjust their UIs to reflect the new name and symbol.

Note: The existing token addresses remain the same; we will not be introducing a separate token. In the coming months, we will update the name and symbol on the existing token addresses to EURC, which will make it easier for apps, wallets, and block explorers to implement this naming change.

For more information, please see our blog post.

Businesses can apply for a Circle Mint account to access on/off-ramps for EURC via wire transfer.

EURC is also accessible from digital asset exchanges and apps within the Avalanche, Ethereum, Solana, and Stellar ecosystems.

When the MiCA regulation enters into application for e-money tokens (EMTs) in June 2024, businesses are expected to adhere to MiCA requirements. Circle has applied for the necessary licenses to become an E-Money Institution in France and make EURC a MiCA-compliant EMT ahead of MiCA entering into application.
