The EURAU Euro stablecoin, backed by Deutsche Bank and asset manager DWS Group, has officially integrated Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) to enable multi-chain functionality across Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Solana. The move marks a major step in the project’s strategy to make the euro-backed stablecoin one of the most interoperable and institutionally trusted assets in Europe’s rapidly growing on-chain economy.

The integration will enable EURAU’s euro-denominated token to seamlessly transfer across blockchain networks, addressing interoperability, which is one of the most pressing challenges for stablecoins. By leveraging Chainlink’s CCIP, EURAU aims to enhance liquidity, reduce fragmentation across ecosystems, and strengthen its role in digital asset settlements and tokenized finance.

EURAU Champions A Strategic Step Toward Euro Stablecoin Dominance

EURAU, developed by Universal Real Asset Union and supported by Deutsche Bank’s infrastructure partners, has been positioning itself as a compliant, regulated alternative to dollar-backed stablecoins like USDT and USDC.

The euro-denominated token is pegged 1:1 to the Euro and backed by fully transparent reserves held under regulated custody within the European Economic Area. The integration with CCIP now opens the door for cross-chain settlements across some of the most active DeFi ecosystems, such as Arbitrum’s Layer 2 rollups and Solana’s high-throughput network.

The use of Chainlink CCIP ensures transfers between blockchains are secure, audited, and meet institutional-grade reliability standards, critical for financial institutions experimenting with tokenized euro instruments.

For Chainlink, the EURAU integration adds another major institutional use case for its CCIP technology, which a growing number of enterprises and financial networks has adopted. CCIP acts as a secure messaging and token transfer layer between blockchains, enabling programmable interoperability while minimizing the risk of cross-chain exploits — a major security concern in decentralized finance.

With more banks and asset managers exploring blockchain settlement, the collaboration showcases how institutional-grade stablecoins can leverage decentralized infrastructure while maintaining full regulatory alignment.

Institutional Support Strengthens European Crypto Ambitions

Deutsche Bank and DWS Group’s involvement gives EURAU a level of institutional credibility rarely seen in the stablecoin sector. The collaboration aligns with growing European momentum for regulated digital assets following the rollout of MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation), which provides a unified framework for stablecoins and tokenized instruments.

By anchoring its stablecoin operations within this evolving regulatory landscape, EURAU appears to be positioning itself as a key player in Europe’s response to the U.S.-dominated stablecoin market. Analysts note that a fully interoperable euro stablecoin could serve as a backbone for the region’s tokenized financial markets, potentially powering real-world asset (RWA) settlements, cross-border payments, and institutional DeFi products.

EURAU’s expansion comes as global stablecoin demand continues to soar. While dollar-backed stablecoins still dominate the market, euro-denominated tokens are gaining traction as Europe seeks to assert digital monetary sovereignty and reduce dependency on U.S.-based issuers. Looking ahead, market observers expect EURAU’s multi-chain integration to set a precedent for how regulated stablecoins can operate across ecosystems.
