The happy medium between regulation and decentralized finance?
According to Membrane Finance, the EUROe should manage to play several roles in order to be effective in different sectors of activity, with the aim of registering as a reference stablecoin on a European scale whether for individuals or professionals.
“The EUROe enables transparent and near-instantaneous payments around the world at near zero cost. Therefore, individuals, businesses and governments can use EUROe while avoiding the risks and complexities of converting and paying in volatile cryptocurrencies. […] We want to bring decentralized finance to the masses and make it as easy as possible to allow Europeans to use a currency they trust and know. »
Addressing novices or professionals likely to find interest in the EUROe, the Finnish company is developing the interest of large-scale blockchain especially in terms of its immutability and therefore the availability of reliable on-chain data, accessible at any time and by everyone.
Regarding his future plans, Membrane Finance is already working to make the EUROe transferable cross-chain and to build its own tokenization platform thanks to a recent fundraising of 2 million euros.
Finally, note that the EUROe can already be exchanged and integrated into smart contracts. For example, it is possible to obtain on the decentralized finance protocol Uniswap (UNI).
