Revolut is taking a major step deeper into digital payments with the launch of EURR, its first euro-backed stablecoin, potentially putting onchain euro payments directly in front of the fintech giant’s more than 80 million customers. The token is beginning with a phased rollout in Denmark, Poland and Portugal, with broader European availability planned later this year. 

EURR is designed to maintain a 1:1 value with the euro and is integrated directly into Revolut’s retail app, allowing eligible customers to move between traditional euros, cryptocy and external blockchain wallets without first converting into a dollar-backed stablecoin. 

EURR Connects Revolut Customers Directly to Blockchain

EURR gives Revolut users a euro-denominated asset that can move beyond the company’s traditional banking infrastructure and onto public blockchains.

At launch, EURR is available on Ethereum and Polygon, with external wallet transfers supported as liquidity expands. 

Key details include:

  • EURR is pegged 1:1 to the euro
  • Launching first in Denmark, Poland and Portugal
  • Available on Ethereum and Polygon
  • Integrated directly into the Revolut app
  • Can eventually move between Revolut and supported external wallets
  • Wider European Economic Area rollout is planned for later in 2026

For European crypto users, the biggest advantage is avoiding unnecessary dollar exposure. Someone who earns and spends euros can move money onchain while remaining denominated in euros rather than converting into USDC or another dollar stablecoin.

Stripe-Owned Bridge Actually Issues the Stablecoin

Despite carrying Revolut’s branding and being distributed through its app, Revolut isn’t the legal issuer of EURR.

The token is issued by Bridge Building S.A., a Luxembourg-regulated subsidiary of stablecoin infrastructure company Bridge, which Stripe acquired for $1.1 billion in 2025. 

Bridge manages the reserves backing EURR and operates as a regulated electronic money institution in Luxembourg.

The arrangement means:

Bridge issues and backs EURR → Revolut distributes it to customers → users access it through Revolut and supported blockchains.

EURR is structured to comply with Europe’s Markets in Crypto-Assets regulation, or MiCA. 

80 Million Revolut Customers Could Give EURR a Major Advantage

The euro stablecoin market remains tiny compared with dollar-backed tokens.

The total stablecoin market exceeds $300 billion, but euro-denominated stablecoins account for less than $800 million. 

That’s where Revolut could have an advantage.

The company has more than 80 million retail customers, including over 16 million crypto users. Instead of convincing consumers to sign up for a new crypto platform, Revolut can eventually put EURR directly inside an app millions of people already use. 

The initial launch, however, remains extremely small. Bridge’s reserve dashboard showed just 374 EURR in circulation backed by €374 in reserves around launch, suggesting Revolut is starting with a controlled rollout before attempting to scale the token. 

Revolut Isn’t Stopping With the Euro

EURR appears to be the beginning of a much larger stablecoin strategy.

Revolut says it is already developing stablecoins tied to additional currencies, with each product moving through its own regulatory process. 

That could eventually give Revolut customers a selection of blockchain-based versions of currencies they already use for everyday banking.

Potential applications extend beyond crypto trading into:

  • Cross-border payments
  • Business transactions
  • Onchain settlement
  • Tokenized financial markets
  • Moving money between fiat accounts and DeFi

Revolut’s Emil Urmanshin described EURR as a way to connect the company’s enormous customer base directly to onchain finance. 

Stablecoins Are Moving Into Everyday Banking

EURR is another sign that stablecoins are moving beyond crypto exchanges and becoming part of mainstream financial infrastructure.

Banks, fintech companies and payment giants are increasingly exploring digital tokens as a way to move traditional currencies over blockchain networks.

Revolut has a particularly interesting position because it already operates across banking, foreign exchange, payments and cryptocy.

EURR essentially connects those businesses.

Euros inside Revolut can now become euros onchain without forcing customers to switch into dollars first.

The initial three-country rollout is small, but the potential distribution network isn’t. If Revolut eventually makes EURR available across its broader European customer base, the company could quickly become one of the largest consumer distribution channels for euro-denominated stablecoins.

And Revolut has already made clear that the euro is only the beginning.
