Owning EURS: Uses, Storage and Risks

EURS is a euro-pegged stablecoin intended to represent euros on a blockchain. STASIS describes its value as tied to collateral, so its goal is to track the euro rather than rise in price like a typical cryptoasset. You might use it to hold a euro-denominated balance on-chain, transfer value, or interact with services that accept EURS. That does not make it the same as euros in a bank account: its value depends on the issuer, backing arrangements, market access and ability to redeem it.

As of 2026-11-08, EURS traded at about $1.12, with a market capitalisation of about $6.6 million and 24-hour trading volume of about $1,670. These are changing market figures, not a guarantee that one EURS can be exchanged for one euro. Check the current price and the available trading liquidity before relying on it for a payment or conversion.

EURS is issued on Ethereum and Polygon; it is not the native token of either network. Before you receive or send it, confirm that the exchange, wallet or service supports EURS on the exact network you plan to use. An Ethereum EURS deposit address and a Polygon EURS transfer are not interchangeable just because the token has the same name. Sending through an unsupported network can make funds difficult or impossible to recover.

STASIS offers a product called the STASIS Stablecoin wallet. You can also use a compatible wallet that supports the relevant network and token. For a transfer, check the token contract and network shown by the receiving service, send a small test amount when practical, and keep enough of the network’s native asset to pay transaction fees. A wallet displaying EURS does not itself guarantee that you can exchange it for euros or withdraw it through STASIS.

About 5.91 million EURS were circulating as of 2026-11-08; the reported total supply was the same. No maximum supply is specified. Token supply can change, so treat these figures as a dated snapshot rather than a permanent limit.

Supply alone does not show whether you can redeem your tokens or whether the backing is sufficient. Before holding a larger balance, look for current reserve disclosures, independent assurance and clear redemption conditions from STASIS. Check who is eligible to redeem, whether there are minimums or fees, and what verification is required. If those conditions are unclear or do not fit your situation, you may need to rely on exchange markets to exit, where liquidity and the EURS price can differ from the intended euro peg.

For a small balance you plan to use soon, a reputable exchange account or a software wallet may be convenient, but each adds different risks. Exchange custody means the platform controls the keys and may restrict access or withdrawals. With a self-custody wallet, you control the keys, but losing the recovery phrase or signing a malicious transaction can permanently cost you the funds.

For longer-term storage, use a wallet that supports the correct EURS network, protect its recovery phrase offline, and never share it with anyone claiming to provide support. Verify wallet and token details through trusted channels before approving a transaction. Consider a hardware wallet for larger holdings, and test your recovery process before relying on it. Keep an eye on network selection and fees: the balance may be held on Ethereum or Polygon, and you need the corresponding network to move it.

EURS can trade below or above its intended euro value. A peg is a target, not a guarantee: market liquidity, confidence in the backing, redemption access or issuer-related problems can weaken it. The reported 24-hour volume was about $1,670 as of 2026-11-08, so check current order depth before making a large conversion; low liquidity can make the price you receive worse than a quoted price.

You also face issuer and reserve risks, as well as blockchain risks. A token contract, wallet, exchange or network can be compromised, halted or unavailable. A mistaken network transfer may not be recoverable. EURS is not a bank deposit, and its euro value may not be protected by deposit insurance. Do not treat the token description as proof of current reserves or a promise of redemption. Confirm STASIS’s current disclosures and terms, and avoid holding money in EURS that you cannot afford to have temporarily inaccessible or lose.
