Euro liquidity comes to Avalanche

Deployment on Avalanche also means apps that support USDC will easily integrate Euro Coin, the digital technology firm said in a press release.
“When we first introduced Euro Coin on Ethereum last year, we wanted anyone with an internet connection to have access to the euro across borders and time zones,” said Joao Reginatto, VP of Product at Circle. He added:
“By launching Euro Coin on Avalanche’s fast and efficient platform, we can help developers and their users experience near-instant, more cost effective financial transactions and unlock new possibilities for payments, remittances and 24/7 FX.”

“We continue to see great adoption and volume behind Circle’s USDC, and expect great feedback and usage of Euro Coin on Avalanche. DeFi continues to expand into a multi-currency, cross-border environment &- delivering a trusted and fully reserved euro stablecoin like Euro Coin will greatly accelerate the adoption of instant payments and remittances to a much larger swath of the world,” Nahas noted.
According to Circle, apps and wallets that support the stablecoin on Avalanche include Coinbase Wallet, MetaMask, BENQI, Cables, Core, and Curve.&
