EU eyes euro stablecoins to challenge dollar monopoly

The European Union is looking to introduce euro stablecoins as a strategic move to challenge the dominance of the US dollar in the cryptocurrency market. This shift comes in response to a significant increase in US dollar-pegged stablecoins following new legislation in the United States in 2025. By developing euro stablecoins, the EU aims to enhance its financial sovereignty and provide a competitive alternative for digital transactions, which could reshape the global financial landscape.
