Deep Dive
1. SLEX Listing Spotlight (18 September 2025)
Overview:
SLEX highlighted EURQ as a MiCA-compliant euro stablecoin, emphasizing its ERC-20 compatibility, regulated reserves, and use cases in DeFi and cross-border payments. The exchange now offers EURQ/USDT trading with features targeting arbitrage and hedging.
What this means:
This strengthens EURQ’s visibility in euro-denominated crypto markets, particularly for users avoiding USD conversion layers. SLEX’s liquidity infrastructure could stabilize EURQ’s peg during volatility. (SLEX Blog)
2. CoinEx Integration (30 June 2025)
Overview:
CoinEx listed EURQ with Automated Market Making (AMM) and Spot Grid tools, letting users earn fees by providing liquidity or automating EURQ/USDT trades within predefined ranges.
What this means:
Institutional-grade trading features may attract algorithmic traders, potentially deepening EURQ’s liquidity pool. However, CoinEx’s smaller user base limits immediate volume impact. (CoinEx)
3. Tether’s Strategic Backing (26 June 2025)
Overview:
Tether partnered with Quantoz to launch EURQ as part of its MiCA compliance strategy, replacing its non-compliant EURT stablecoin. This aligns with EU exchanges delisting USDT for regulated alternatives.
What this means:
Tether’s distribution network could accelerate EURQ adoption, though competition from Circle’s EURC persists. Regulatory alignment here is bullish long-term but hinges on MiCA enforcement clarity. (CryptoFront News)
Conclusion
EURQ is cementing its role as a eurozone regulatory pioneer through strategic listings and Tether’s infrastructure. Watch whether MiCA’s March 2025 deadline drives accelerated exchange migrations – will EURQ’s compliance edge translate to measurable market share against USDC and EURC?
