- Circle’s USDC and EURC, its euro-denominated stablecoin, comply with the EU’s Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) law and are gaining significant traction in the region. The company also expanded DeFi functionality and cross-chain interoperability for the assets on the Ethereum, Solana, and Aptos blockchains.
- Robinhood offers the lowest fees among crypto exchanges in Europe and supports more than 30 cryptocurrencies. Recently, the platform listed the Solana-based meme coin Dogwifhat (WIF), resulting in its price surging.
- Stablecoin issuer Tether is shutting down its euro-pegged EURT coin following complications with MiCA compliance. Several exchanges including Bitstamp, OKX, and Coinbase have already delisted the token, and users have been given a deadline of November 2025 to redeem their holdings.
Robinhood Crypto, the cryptocurrency trading platform by financial services firm Robinhood, has expanded its token offerings in Europe to include Ciricle’s USD Coin (USDC) stablecoin. The integration will allow its European customers to access a regulated, dollar-backed digital asset.
Robinhood Lists USDC In Europe, Giving 24 Million Users Access To The Stablecoin
The announcement was made by Robinhood Crypto EU via an X post, where the company said the USDC integration would enable 24 million registered users of the app to access the asset. The move aligns with the company’s strategy to expand its token offerings while providing compliant options for investors in the ever-evolving cryptocurrency space.
Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire stated that with the listing of USDC on Robinhood, the platform could further boost the use of fiat-pegged cryptocurrencies, or stablecoins, within the Bloc. He highlighted the “clear and supportive” regulatory framework for digital assets in Europe while emphasizing EURC, the company’s Euro-pegged stablecoin, which is gaining significant traction in the region.
Both USDC and EURC tokens operate within the EU’s Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) regulation for digital currency assets. EURC is the largest stablecoin backed by the euro and is growing in transaction volume and on-chain use, highlighted by more exchanges and wallet service providers offering support for the token.
Meanwhile, Robinhood continues to broaden its crypto portfolio, now offering support for over 30 digital assets. The platform has gained widespread popularity in Europe, thanks to its low cost and transparent fee structure.
In addition to USDC, the crypto trading platform recently listed the Solana-based meme coin Dogwifhat (WIF). The listing triggered a massive surge in the token’s price and trading volume, solid proof of Robinhood Crypto’s influence on market trends within the sector.
USDC Can Now Be Issued On The Aptos (APT) Blockchain And Transfers Between Ethereum, Base And Solana
Parallely, Circle has launched USDC and its Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) on the Aptos blockchain (APT). This partnership will enable the company to issue its dollar-backed stablecoin on Aptos, further enhancing its functionality within the network.
The CCTP rollout will facilitate seamless USDC transfers between Aptos and other blockchains supported by the asset, such as Ethereum, Solana, and Base. The protocol enhances cross-chain interoperability while reducing the need for bridged versions of the stablecoins. The setup also improves on-chain liquidity and DeFi functionality for USDC.
Circle’s collaboration with Aptos is part of the company’s strategy to expand the usability of USDC across the global decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem.
Tether’s EURT Delisted By European Exchanges, Investors Asked To Redeem Holdings By November 2025
Meanwhile, Tether, the issuer of Tether USD (USDT) – the world’s largest stablecoin by market capitalization – announced that it no longer offers support for its euro-backed stablecoin, EURT. The company stopped minting the token in 2022 and has given holders a deadline of November 2025 to redeem their positions. The move is part of Tether’s strategy to focus on projects that are more relevant to the changing global crypto regulatory environments and conducting product reviews based on their regulatory requirements.
Several crypto exchanges operating in the EU are delisting EURT and USDT to comply with the bloc’s MiCA regulations. Bitstamp and OKX were the first platforms to delist the tokens, while Uphold dropped USDT along with six other stablecoins for European users. Coinbase has announced that it will delist all non-MiCA-complaint stablecoins in the EU by December.
Tether has asked European EURT and USDT holders to redeem their tokens via supported blockchains before the deadline. The company is now shifting its focus to developing and launching crypto products that are MiCA-compliant. This entails the launch of the upcoming EURQ and USDQ tokens that will offer convenient, dependable, and more secure transactions in the continent.
Moreover, both tokens are being developed in partnership with Quantoz Payments, a Dutch fintech firm. The EURQ and USDQ stablecoins will be issued and managed on Hadron, a platform with pre-built compliance features that offers a solution for tokenizing stocks, bonds, and fiat currencies.
