Is digital money mainstream? Stablecoins soar as euro tokenization nears $1B!

Stablecoins and tokenized euros are accelerating in tandem!

Annual Stablecoin Settlement has surged past $50 trillion, while euro-backed tokens are spreading across payment platforms. Digital assets are progressing faster than we expected, and they’re changing the way money moves.

Europe’s got the spotlight

Euro-backed tokens have become one of the fastest-growing segments in the RWA space. The market cap of tokenized euros has jumped to $850 million, a 9 times increase since early 2023, according to Token Terminal.

The growth is coming from a stack of players driving momentum: Spiko’s EUTBL, Circle’s EURC, Société Générale’s EUR CoinVertible, Angle’s EURA, Monerium’s EURe, and Tether’s EURT. The inflection point came in early 2025, when these issuers collectively pushed the category toward the $1 billion mark.

AMBCrypto previously reported that global institutions are leaning heavily into tokenization, with some forecasts estimating the sector could balloon from $0.6 trillion today to nearly $19 trillion by 2033. This growing demand is similar to that of the euro-backed tokens.

Retail and big institutions are now moving in the same direction.

Stablecoins are moving more money than ever

It’s not just euros! Annual Stablecoin Transfer activity crossed $50 trillion.

Ethereum still leads by a wide margin, but the chart shows Base, TRON [TRX], Solana [SOL], and Avalanche [AVAX] rapidly stacking up their share. The pace is amazing – the market went from near-zero at the start of 2025 to tens of trillions in cumulative transfers by November.

The momentum doesn’t stop at annual totals…

The quarterly numbers prove just how quickly this is happening.

Q4 stablecoin transfer volume on Ethereum [ETH] has already climbed past $5.5 trillion, overtaking all of Q3 with a full month still to go.

For comparison, quarterly volumes were around $3-4 trillion for most of early 2024, meaning Ethereum’s payment rails have effectively doubled in under a year.

While newer chains are growing fast, Ethereum is the settlement engine of on-chain dollars. What’s more, is that it’s scaling into this role faster than anyone expected.


Final Thoughts

  • Tokenized euros neared $1 billion and stablecoin settlement topped $50 trillion.
  • Digital money adoption is accelerating far faster than traditional systems can keep up.
