The market capitalization of tokenized euros has climbed to a new record level, reaching an all-time high of $1.1 billion, according to fresh data released today by market analyst Token Terminal. Tokenized euros are digital assets issued on blockchain platforms and pegged 1:1 to the euro. Due to this pegging capability, such tokenized assets offer price stability and enable rapid, low-cost transactions worldwide, making them ideal for DeFi applications and cross-border payments.
Euro-backed stablecoins (such as Tether’s EURT, Circle’s EUROC, Spiko’s EUTBL, Monerium’s EURe, Angle’s EURA, and Societe Generale’s EUR CoinVertible) are some of the leading tokenized euro assets, facilitating rapid euro settlements and enhancing liquidity across multiple chains.

The Rise Points to Growing Interest and Use Cases
According to the data, the market cap of tokenized euros surged 100% over the past 12 months, rising from the $1.1 million level noticed in January 2025 to the current, new record high of $1.1 billion reached today, January 17, 2026. This growth demonstrates rising demand for euro-backed token solutions across the Web3 landscape.
Although the U.S dollar-native tokens (like USDT, USDC, and others) dominate the on-chain markets as indicated by their massive $303.97 billion market cap, tokenized euros are strongly developing their niche (as shown by their rapidly growing market cap). This is an indicator of rising demand for euro-backed tokens from European DeFi users (on-chain businesses and individual customers) using them in DeFi as an alternative to USD-dominated liquidity.
The increasing demand for tokenized euros stems from European customers’ need to fulfil their cross‑border settlements and remittances. The data revealed that these users are increasingly using Euro stablecoins to move euro-denominated value across blockchain networks as an alternative to US-dominated stablecoins and without exposure to the sharp crypto price swings.
Also, these tokens are gaining popularity in sectors (such as e-commerce, remittances, and DeFi platforms) that seek to offer euro-denominated assets to general users and European crypto customers, providing them with a stable store of value.
The surging adoption of tokenized euros is a reflection of a maturing European digital asset ecosystem and growing demand for using regulated, fiat-backed cryptocurrencies, supported by the EU’s MiCA regulation and rising institutional appetite in stablecoins.
Other Drivers for the Market Growth
The analyst further revealed other catalysts behind the growth of the tokenized euros’ market capitalization. As reported in the data, the surge has also been driven by major on-chain players, including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon, Base, Solana, Starknet, Avalanche, Stellar, XDC Network, and Gnosis.
As per the data, Ethereum accounts for more than half of all tokenized euros in circulation across blockchain networks. The analyst identified that 52% of the total market cap of tokenized euros currently circulates on the Ethereum blockchain, exceeding other networks as stated above. The other market value of tokenized euros resides on prominent blockchains, including Arbitrum, Polygon, Base, Solana, Starknet, Avalanche, Stellar, XDC Network, and Gnosis, as illustrated in the data above.

A whale-led selloff is driving the Bitcoin market, and ETF institutional buy pressure is unable to turn the tide
A CryptoQuant report indicates that as of the end of March, Bitcoin’s “apparent demand” is -63,000 BTC, showing that the market has an oversupply situation, and institutional buying cannot offset retail selling. Starting in mid-2025, the giant whales began large-scale selling, pushing the market into a distribution phase. Although ETF institutional buying has increased, it has not been able to change the weak demand situation, and weakening domestic U.S. demand may further affect the market. Easing geopolitical tensions could become a catalyst for a short-term rebound.

BTC 15-minute drop of 0.73%: Technical support fails and on-chain congestion converges to suppress the rebound
From 2026-04-02 02:00 to 2026-04-02 02:15 (UTC), the BTC price fluctuated within the 66,858.6 - 67,355.0 USDT range. Over the 15 minutes, the return was -0.73%, and the amplitude reached 0.74%. During this period, market attention increased, short-term volatility intensified, and investors’ sentiment clearly shifted toward caution.
The main driving force behind this abnormal move was that the key technical support level of $66,700 was broken, along with the RSI falling below 30, indicating that short-term momentum weakened rapidly and investors’ willingness to sell increased. Additionally, the market sentiment became more cautious, and trading volume showed signs of decline.
