EU issuers argue that a euro-only stablecoin is insufficient as companies seek USD liquidity for international payments.

EU issuers have highlighted that the euro stablecoin may not meet the liquidity needs of businesses engaged in cross‑border payments.

They argue that dollar‑denominated tokens would provide a more widely accepted medium for settlement and reduce currency conversion costs.
