Qivalis vinner 25 nya banker till euro-stablecoin-projekt

Det europeiska projektet Qivalis har tredubblat antalet medlemsbanker från 12 till 37. Konsortiet planerar att lansera en reglerad euro-stablecoin under andra halvan av året.

Qivalis har knutit till sig 25 ytterligare banker till sitt stablecoin-initiativ. Detta drag syftar till att skapa ett öppet och reglerat digitalt ekosystem för euron. ”Denna expansion är ett avgörande steg mot ett öppet och reglerat digitalt ekosystem för euron”, säger Qivalis vd Jan-Oliver Sell.

Det nederländska företaget förbereder just nu emissionen och har ansökt om en licens som institut för elektroniska pengar hos den nederländska centralbanken. Målet är att motverka den dollardominerade marknaden. Mer än 99 procent av marknaden för stablecoins, som uppgår till över 300 miljarder dollar, består av dollarbackade varianter.

Euron utgör cirka 20 procent av de globala valutareserverna. Stablecoins ses som en grund för snabbare och billigare gränsöverskridande betalningar på publika blockkedjor.
