### What is EURC?

EURC is a euro-backed stablecoin issued by Circle, designed to offer a stable, regulated, and accessible digital representation of the euro on multiple blockchain networks. It aims to bridge traditional finance and decentralised finance (DeFi) by providing a fully backed and MiCA-compliant euro stablecoin for crypto markets.

### How does EURC work?

- **Redeemability**: Users can redeem EURC 1:1 for euros.  
- **Transparency**: Reserves are managed with monthly attestations for accountability.  
- **Smart Contracts**: EURC uses smart contracts for issuance, transfers, and management, modelled after USDC for ease of integration.  

The token’s compliance with MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) regulation ensures its legitimacy and security within the evolving regulatory framework.

### What are the potential use cases for EURC?

EURC has a variety of real-world applications across multiple sectors, including:  
- **Cross-Border Payments**: Facilitating efficient and low-cost euro transactions globally.

Industries such as DeFi, international finance, cryptocurrency trading, and e-commerce benefit from EURC’s capabilities.
