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.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech, and 3 sources have reported it between 26 Aug 2026 and 27 Aug 2026.

◆ 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. That separation creates a new service layer between licensed issuers and consumer-facing distributors you can build on.
