In what appears to be another win for digital assets, a bank based in Europe has enlisted the help of a Germany based blockchain outfit to create a first-ever euro stablecoin.

Newly launched stablecoin is now trading on various exchanges

In its official announcement, Bankhaus von der Heydt said that it has teamed up with renowned German blockchain firm, Bitbond, to create the first-ever stablecoin across the European region. Going further, the bank noted that even though the new stablecoin is tied to the euro, it can be bought and traded by all traders across the globe.

As at the time of writing, the stablecoin is already trading across various prominent crypto exchanges, the statement noted. The press release also mentioned that the launched euro stablecoin would go down in history as the first-ever to be launched by a financial institution in the European market which is based on the Stellar Network.

Bankhaus von der Heydt is one of the oldest banks across the European region, and the bank offers it’s services solely to institutional investors and investments. With the partnership already established between the bank and the blockchain firm, the bank will take advantage of this to bolster its securitization business by infusing DLT technology that would be provided by Bitbond.
