Revolut begins rollout of EURR euro-backed stablecoin with Bridge as issuer

Jan 1, 2019

Revolut has launched its first euro-backed stablecoin, EURR, targeting selected users in Denmark, Poland, and Portugal. Issued by Stripe-owned Bridge Building S.A. under the EU's MiCA framework, EURR is admitted to trading on Revolut X. While Revolut leverages its 75 million user base for distribution, EURR's initial circulation of €374 remains small compared to Circle's €394.5 million EURC stablecoin.
