French Minister Calls for Euro Stablecoin Development Amid U.S. Dominance
- Current Euro Stablecoin Market: The total market capitalization of euro-backed stablecoins stands at only $912 million, starkly contrasting with over $300 billion for USD-pegged stablecoins, raising concerns among policymakers about the impact on Europe's financial sovereignty and digital competitiveness.
- Banking Collaboration Initiative: French Economy Minister Roland Lescure supports a euro stablecoin consortium led by major banks including ING, UniCredit, and BNP Paribas, expected to launch in the second half of 2026, aimed at enhancing the euro's position in the digital asset landscape.
- Growing User Demand: Despite research indicating that two-thirds of European banks perceive insufficient demand for stablecoins, a survey revealed that 54% of respondents held stablecoins in the past year, with 56% expressing interest in increasing their holdings, suggesting a rising user appetite for stablecoins.
- Cross-Border Payment Potential: Studies indicate that stablecoin-based foreign exchange transactions in regions like Latin America and East Africa are nearing traditional bank transfer volumes, highlighting the tangible benefits stablecoins could offer in cross-border remittances and digital savings, especially as EU regulatory clarity improves.
