Oddo BHF Launches EUROD: A Franco-German Challenge to the Dollar’s Stablecoin Dominance
Oddo BHF, a Franco-German banking institution, has introduced EUROD, a euro-backed stablecoin designed to counter the dominance of dollar-pegged stablecoins like USDT and USDC. This MOVE aims to bolster Europe's financial sovereignty while adhering to stringent regulatory frameworks such as MiCA.
The success of EUROD hinges on its adoption by key market players and its ability to compete with established American counterparts. The stablecoin's launch marks a strategic effort to reduce reliance on the U.S. financial system and mitigate risks associated with sanctions and market homogeneity.
