Germany’s AllUnity expands EURAU to Solana as euro stablecoins gain traction

AllUnity, a joint venture backed by DWS, Flow Traders and Galaxy Digital (GLXY), took its euro-backed stablecoin, EURAU, to the Solana blockchain, extending the token’s reach to a high-speed network often used for payments and trading.

EURAU, which debuted last July on Ethereum, is fully reserved and issued under a regulated e-money framework aligned with the European Union’s MiCA rules, the company said in an emailed statement. By adding Solana, AllUnity aims to offer faster settlement and lower transaction costs for euro-denominated transfers.

The setup allows businesses and developers to move euros onchain in seconds. Payments firms, for example, could send cross-border payouts to contractors in real time instead of waiting days for bank transfers, and the same mechanism can also support trading, lending or treasury management using a stable euro unit.

The move reflects growing interest in non-dollar stablecoins, especially in Europe, where firms seek digital assets that meet regulatory standards. While U.S. dollar tokens dominate the $300 billion stabelcoin market, euro-pegged tokens have seen rapid growth, doubling since the start of 2025 to almost $1 billion.

The S&P projected the market could reach 570 billion euros ($672 billion) by 2030. French Finance Minister Roland Lescure called for more euro-denominated stablecoins and urged EU banks to explore tokenized deposits.

AllUnity also highlighted that demand for regulated euro stablecoins is rising, and that expanding across multiple blockchains could help drive broader adoption in both finance and corporate payments.

"As demand for compliant euro stablecoins accelerates, Solana's speed and scalability make it a natural environment for institutional-grade settlement and cross-border payments," said Peter Grosskopf, CTO and COO of AllUnity.

AllUnity said several partners, including Bullish (owner of CoinDesk), Privy, Hercle and Transak, are preparing to use EURAU on Solana for payments, trading and fiat onramps.
