Euro coin was introduced in June on the Ethereum blockchain and is backed by a mix of cash and European government debt. Adoption of the coin has been slow. It has a market cap of just $80 million, compared with USDC's market cap of $42 billion. Tether's USDT, the largest stablecoin, has a market cap of $69 billion.
