Revolut launched EURR, a euro-pegged stablecoin, which is issued and backed by Bridge Building S.A., a regulated Luxembourg entity, while Revolut handles distribution. This split aligns with EU MiCA rules requiring e-money token issuers to safeguard customer funds through licensed entities.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
Stablecoin founders in Europe must split token issuance and reserve custody to comply with MiCA rules, opening distribution opportunities for platforms without reserve infrastructure like Revolut.
