In a strategic move, AllUnity, a joint venture supported by prominent players DWS, Flow Traders, and Galaxy Digital, has extended its euro-backed stablecoin, EURAU, to the Solana blockchain. This expansion enables the token to leverage Solana's high-speed network, commonly utilized for payments and trading. Initially launched on Ethereum in July, EURAU is a fully reserved and regulated e-money token that complies with the European Union's MiCA rules.
By integrating Solana, AllUnity seeks to provide faster and more cost-effective euro-denominated transactions. This development allows businesses and developers to transfer euros on-chain in mere seconds, facilitating real-time cross-border payouts and supporting various financial applications such as trading, lending, and treasury management with a stable euro unit. The growing interest in non-dollar stablecoins, particularly in Europe, where companies seek regulatory-compliant digital assets, underpins this move.
While the US dollar dominates the $300 billion stablecoin market, euro-pegged tokens have experienced rapid growth, doubling in value since early 2025 to nearly $1 billion. Projections suggest the market could reach 570 billion euros by 2030. French Finance Minister Roland Lescure has advocated for more euro-denominated stablecoins, encouraging EU banks to explore tokenized deposits.
AllUnity notes the increasing demand for regulated euro stablecoins and believes that multi-blockchain expansion can drive broader adoption in finance and corporate payments. According to Peter Grosskopf, CTO and COO of AllUnity, 'Solana's speed and scalability make it an ideal environment for institutional-grade settlement and cross-border payments as demand for compliant euro stablecoins accelerates.' The company has announced that several partners, including Bullish, Privy, Hercle, and Transak, are preparing to utilize EURAU on Solana for various applications such as payments, trading, and fiat onramps.
