Euro Coin
Overview
EURC is Circle’s euro-pegged sibling to USDC and a euro stablecoin both card networks accept for settlement: Visa from its July 2025 expansion, Mastercard for EEMEA acquirers from August 2025. That matters mostly for European acquirers: settlement obligations can stay euro-denominated end-to-end instead of converting through USD.
Under MiCA, EURC is issued as a regulated e-money token in the EU, which is the property card networks and their EU-regulated members care about most.
Card-network settlement support
Added to Visa’s settlement platform in the July 2025 expansion. Mastercard offers EURC settlement to acquirers in Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa (with Circle, Aug 2025); it is not in Mastercard’s June 2026 US-dollar settlement set.
Regulation & reserves
Euro-denominated cash and equivalents held with regulated financial institutions; monthly attestations.

Always verify contract addresses against the issuer’s official documentation before use — lookalike tokens with identical symbols are a common scam vector.
