EURR is a euro-pegged stablecoin that Revolut began rolling out on August 26, 2026 to selected customers in Denmark, Poland, and Portugal. It is designed to hold a value of one euro, it lives inside the Revolut app and the Revolut X trading platform, and Revolut does not issue it.
The issuer is Bridge Building S.A., a Luxembourg entity owned by Bridge, the stablecoin infrastructure company Stripe acquired for $1.1 billion. Bridge holds the reserves and carries the legal obligation to redeem, while Revolut Digital Assets Europe Ltd distributes the token under supervision from Cyprus regulator CySEC.
The timing is the part worth understanding. EURR arrives roughly a week before Revolut removes Tether's USDT from its European app entirely, which makes this a substitution rather than an addition.
This guide covers what EURR is, who stands behind it, what changes for customers, and what the launch signals about euro stablecoins generally.
Key Takeaways
- EURR launched August 26 in three markets, reaching roughly 2 million customers in the initial phase.
- Bridge issues it, Revolut distributes it, so the redemption obligation sits with a Stripe-owned entity.
- It replaces USDT rather than supplementing it, arriving as Revolut withdraws Tether from the EEA.
- Euro-to-EURR conversion carries no spread or fee, removing the cost of routing through a dollar token.
- Revolut serves over 80 million customers, which is distribution no euro stablecoin has previously had.
What EURR Actually Is
EURR is an e-money token under the European Union's MiCA framework, meaning it references a single official currency and must be backed by reserves held and managed under the regulation's requirements. Holders have a redemption right at par against the issuer.
The rollout is deliberately narrow at the start. Denmark, Poland, and Portugal were selected for market size, covering approximately 2 million customers in the initial phase, with wider availability across the European Economic Area planned before year end subject to regulatory readiness.
Chain support begins with Ethereum. Revolut has indicated Polygon and later Solana, Arbitrum, Optimism, Avalanche, Injective, TON, and Sui, with external wallet transfers available immediately for select customers and more broadly as liquidity builds.

Why Revolut Does Not Issue Its Own Token
Issuing an e-money token under MiCA requires authorisation as an electronic money institution or a credit institution, with capital requirements, reserve segregation, and ongoing supervisory reporting attached. Distribution requires only crypto-asset service provider registration.
Bridge already holds both licences from Luxembourg's CSSF, which is what makes the partnership work. Revolut supplies the customer base and interface, and Bridge supplies the regulated issuance machinery, with each side doing what its authorisation permits.
The arrangement is now standard rather than unusual. Tether's USAT and Western Union's USDPT are both issued by Anchorage Digital Bank, World Liberty's USD1 has been issued by BitGo Bank & Trust, and in each case the brand on the token is not the entity holding the reserves.
The practical consequence for holders is where the claim sits. If you hold EURR, your redemption right runs to Bridge in Luxembourg under CSSF supervision, not to Revolut, and you can verify Bridge's authorisation directly on the CSSF register of supervised entities.
What Changes for Revolut Customers
The most concrete change is that a euro-denominated onchain balance becomes available without a dollar detour. Previously a Revolut customer wanting onchain exposure to a stable value typically routed euros into a dollar stablecoin, absorbing conversion cost and currency risk in both directions.
The fee structure removes that friction directly. Revolut applies no spread or fee on euro-to-EURR conversions, while standard crypto trading and remittance limits still apply to other activity.
The USDT withdrawal is the other half of the picture. Revolut has been removing Tether from the European Economic Area and Switzerland under MiCA, with remaining balances converted into customers' base currencies, so EURR fills a gap the delisting creates.
| Before | After | |
|---|---|---|
| Euro stable value onchain | Via dollar stablecoin | Direct via EURR |
| USDT availability in EEA | Available | Being withdrawn |
| Conversion cost from euros | Spread plus FX | No spread or fee |
| Currency risk on balance | EUR to USD exposure | None, euro-denominated |
| External wallet transfers | Depends on token | Select customers, expanding |
Why Euro Stablecoins Have Struggled
Dollar-pegged tokens account for roughly 99% of stablecoin market capitalisation, and the reason is demand for dollar exposure rather than any technical advantage.
A euro stablecoin serves people who already hold euros, which is a narrower proposition than offering dollar access to people who cannot easily get it.
Distribution has been the specific constraint. Euro tokens have generally launched from crypto-native issuers or small institutions without a route to ordinary customers, which left them with regulatory compliance and no users.
Revolut changes that variable and only that variable. More than 80 million retail customers and over 16 million crypto users is distribution no euro stablecoin has previously had, though distribution creates the opportunity rather than the demand.
MiCA has also reshaped the competitive field by removing incumbents. USDT's withdrawal from regulated European venues has opened space that dollar tokens previously occupied by default, a two-tier dynamic we detail in our USDT market report.
What to Watch From Here
Circulating supply is the only metric that settles whether this works. The initial rollout starts from a very small base, and whether EURR accumulates meaningful supply as it expands across the EEA will show if distribution alone converts into holding.
The additional currencies Revolut has signalled are the second signal. The company has described EURR as the first step in a broader strategy including tokens linked to other currencies, and which currencies it picks will indicate where it sees genuine demand.
Reserve disclosure is worth monitoring independently of Revolut. Bridge holds and reports on the reserves, so the quality of that reporting determines what a holder can verify, a distinction we cover across issuers in our stablecoin issuer transparency index.
The broader test is whether the substitution holds. Customers losing USDT access may move to EURR, to a different dollar token still permitted in the EEA, or off Revolut entirely, and only supply data will show which.
Conclusion
EURR is the first euro stablecoin to launch with distribution that actually matters. Revolut began rolling it out on August 26, 2026 to selected customers in Denmark, Poland, and Portugal, with wider EEA availability planned before year end.
The structure splits the roles: Bridge Building S.A. issues the token and holds the redemption obligation under CSSF supervision in Luxembourg, while Revolut Digital Assets Europe distributes it under CySEC oversight in Cyprus.
For customers, the practical change is a euro-denominated onchain balance with no spread or fee on conversion, arriving the same week USDT leaves the European app. That timing makes EURR a substitution rather than an addition.
Whether it works is a question distribution alone cannot answer, and circulating supply across the EEA rollout is the metric that will settle it.

FAQ:
1. What is EURR?
EURR is a euro-pegged stablecoin designed to maintain a value of €1.00, launched by Revolut on August 26, 2026 to selected customers in Denmark, Poland, and Portugal. It is an e-money token under the EU's MiCA framework, integrated into the Revolut app and the Revolut X trading platform, with plans for wider European Economic Area availability later in 2026.
2. Who issues EURR?
EURR is issued by Bridge Building S.A., a Luxembourg entity owned by Bridge, the stablecoin infrastructure company Stripe acquired for $1.1 billion. Bridge is licensed by Luxembourg's CSSF as both an electronic money institution and a crypto-asset service provider, holds the reserves, and carries the redemption obligation. Revolut Digital Assets Europe Ltd, supervised by CySEC, is the distributor.
3. Where is EURR available?
The phased rollout began with selected customers in Denmark, Poland, and Portugal, chosen for market size and covering approximately 2 million customers initially. Revolut plans wider availability across the European Economic Area before the end of 2026, subject to product, operational, and regulatory readiness.
4. Does EURR cost anything to use?
Revolut applies no spread or fee on euro-to-EURR conversions, which removes the usual cost of routing euros through a dollar stablecoin first. Standard Revolut crypto trading and remittance limits apply to other activity, and external wallet transfers are available immediately for select customers with broader availability as liquidity builds.
5. Why is Revolut launching EURR now?
EURR arrives roughly a week before Revolut removes Tether's USDT from its European app entirely under MiCA, with remaining balances converted into customers' base currencies. That makes EURR a replacement for the euro-adjacent stable value customers previously accessed through dollar tokens, rather than an additional option alongside them.
