EUR-Backed Stablecoin Trading Volume to Hit Yearly High
Reaching over $70 million daily in early November, this growth is driven by Eurite (EURI), a MiCA-compliant stablecoin, and Circle’s EURC, which together account for over 90% of November’s trading volume. EURI has gained momentum following its Binance listing, while EURC holds a 50% market share.
