In a move to enhance the reach of its euro-backed stablecoin, EURAU, AllUnity has successfully integrated the token with the Solana blockchain. This development enables the company to leverage Solana's high-speed network, commonly utilized for payments and trading, to facilitate faster and more cost-effective euro-denominated transactions. EURAU, which initially launched on Ethereum last July, operates under a regulated e-money framework, adhering to the European Union's MiCA regulations. By expanding to Solana, AllUnity seeks to provide businesses and developers with the capability to execute euro transactions on-chain in a matter of seconds.
This functionality can be particularly beneficial for payments firms, allowing them to process cross-border payouts to contractors in real-time, as opposed to relying on traditional bank transfers that can take several days. Furthermore, the mechanism can support trading, lending, and treasury management using a stable euro unit.
The integration of EURAU with Solana reflects the growing interest in non-dollar stablecoins, particularly in Europe, where companies are seeking digital assets that meet regulatory standards. While the US dollar dominates the $300 billion stablecoin market, euro-pegged tokens have experienced rapid growth, with their value doubling since the start of 2025 to nearly $1 billion. According to projections by the S&P, the market could potentially reach 570 billion euros ($672 billion) by 2030.
French Finance Minister Roland Lescure has emphasized the need for more euro-denominated stablecoins and encouraged EU banks to explore tokenized deposits. AllUnity has also noted that the demand for regulated euro stablecoins is increasing, and expanding across multiple blockchains could contribute to broader adoption in both finance and corporate payments.
Peter Grosskopf, CTO and COO of AllUnity, stated, 'As demand for compliant euro stablecoins accelerates, Solana's speed and scalability make it a natural environment for institutional-grade settlement and cross-border payments.' The company has announced that several partners, including Bullish, Privy, Hercle, and Transak, are preparing to utilize EURAU on Solana for payments, trading, and fiat on-ramps.
