EURQ On Xahau

Updated

Not much has been released publicly; so there's no detailed usage information beyond the amazing headline, announced at the 2nd year anniversary for the Xahau network.

Official Announcement

On October 30th, 2025, the Inclusive Financial Technology Foundation (InFTF) announced that Xahau would be seeing a new stablecoin project ... for the Euro!

Of course, most of us already familiar with the Coop Remit xApp on Xaman were wondering if there was some use case that might dovetail with this existing project; however, no information other than the official announcement is forthcoming as of this article. (~ late October / early November 2025)

My Questions Will Be Answered

My curiosity revolves around these three main questions:

  • When will the issued assets be available on-chain?
  • How will order books or an AMM be deployed?
  • What is the use case intended for the stablecoin?

All these questions and more will be covered in my follow-up article when more public information becomes available from the InFTF and other project members.

Some Hints

Compliance is a topic where there is no 'compromise' with the Xahau founders. Because of this, we can clearly see that some of the amendments proposed and championed by the same people that are credited with this latest win, have an ulterior purpose.

One example of this is 'clawback'.

Clawback, while not initially enabled as part of the Xahau design during go-live, was recently activated and approved in advance of the EURQ stablecoin.

This means that the issuer has the ability to reverse transactions of its issued asset if it deems that a compliance risk or criminal activity has occurred. This ability, while offending some crypto purists, is consistent with both national and international money transfer laws and regulations.

Was this done to prepare for the EURQ deal?

What It Means For Now

The announcement serves to communicate the intentions of the Xahau team to enter the stablecoin market for the Euro, almost, it would seem, in a complimentary manner to Ripple entering the same market with RLUSD.

Whether fate or circumstance, it would seem that the two chains are now embarking on parallel paths with two different sovereign currencies.

Xahau & Compliant Stablecoins

One of the first articles I wrote on Xpert Page was one that covered the topic of compliant value transfers for regulated financial businesses and government entities. In those series of opinion pieces, I detailed why I believe that Xahau is the 'perfect layer one' for these entities, given how traditional banking operates in comparison.

In the last few days, Xahau signaled its intention to enter the European stablecoin market.

The recent trends in crypto have signaled a race to enter the stablecoin arena by many crypto chains; it's a pathway to true utility that is direct and easy for stakeholders to understand. Year one increased the utility of Xahau due to the Coop Remit project; and now at the end of year two the subsequent 'major' win for (financial) utility has been formally announced.

Congratulations to the team that pulled it off.
