  "account": "London - British digital bank Revolut has joined the global race to introduce Stablecoins, launching a Euro-Stablecoin called EURR. The move signals Revolut's belief in the growing importance of digital money, from cross-border payments to business transactions. EURR is a digital cryptocurrency pegged to the Euro and will initially be available to customers in Denmark, Poland, and Portugal, Revolut announced on Wednesday. The company views EURR as the \"first step\" of a broader Stablecoin strategy that will also include tokens linked to other currencies. EURR will be integrated into the Revolut app, enabling customers to switch directly between Euros and cryptocurrencies. Revolut's Iman Olya said the bank has eliminated hidden fees and friction in currency conversion for cryptocurrencies, and is doing the same for digital money. The British fintech joins a growing field of competition, with companies from Visa to Klarna and numerous global banks announcing Stablecoin initiatives in the past year. Stablecoins, which were previously confined to the crypto market, are increasingly seen as a fast and cost-effective way to transfer money and make payments in mainstream finance. Despite more than a year since US President Donald Trump signed legislation to regulate Stablecoins, there are signs of market fatigue. According to DefiLlama, the total market value of Stablecoins stabilized in 2026 after years of rapid growth, and transaction volumes, as measured by Visa data, are also cooling off in this year following a steep increase since mid-2023. USDT and USDC, tied to the Dollar, still dominate the market, accounting for about 85 percent of all circulating Stablecoins, according to DefiLlama data.",
