Circle, a stablecoin issuer, has officially launched its euro-backed stablecoin, EURC, on Coinbase’s layer-2 network, Base. 
This strategic expansion is notable as EURC becomes the first euro-backed stablecoin on this platform, complementing the already popular USD Coin (USDC). With EURC and USDC, Circle aims to enhance global financial transactions by providing stable, blockchain-based alternatives to traditional currencies.

EURC and USDC are now the first stablecoins on Base from a global issuer to comply with the implemented Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) regulation. This development is important as it places Circle in a better stand in a market trending to be more defined by compliance. 
Using specific stablecoins like EURC to comply with MiCA regulations can change the digital financial landscape in Europe, offering a secure and legal method for trading and investing.

Moreover, EURC and USDC facilitate perfect institutional on and off-ramps through Circle Mint and so these tokens are fully interwoven into the global financial network. 
While EURC is a new entrant on Base, it is yet to be listed on major decentralized exchanges on the network, indicating a phase of early adoption. However, the presence of platforms like PancakeSwap, which offers the token through its import feature, suggests a growing market readiness to embrace regulated stablecoins.
