Stablecoin issuing protocol e-Money will connect to Algorand, making its European currency-based stablecoins available on that blockchain.

  • Algorand users will have access to European stablecoins, including those pegged to the euro (eEUR), Swiss franc (eCHF) and Swedish krona (eSEK), according to an announcement Monday.
  • E-Money said Algorand’s support will enable applications offering native-currency options throughout Europe to be built faster and scaled more quickly.
