A new milestone for thriving Algorand community

STASIS, a leader in issuing euro-backed stablecoins with their flagship product EURS, has recently announced a partnership with Folks Finance, a top DeFi platform on the Algorand blockchain. This collaboration aims to boost EURS adoption on Algorand, enhancing its reach and usability within the ecosystem. STASIS’s EURS stablecoin is notable for being the first fully compliant and regulated euro stablecoin, having facilitated over 6 billion euros in transactions across multiple blockchains. Folks Finance, a DeFi innovator, integrates EURS to offer enhanced stability and trust, furthering a robust financial ecosystem on Algorand.

The Integration: A Boon for Both Communities

The integration of EURS into Folks Finance is a strategic move that brings together two major players in the cryptocurrency world. For STASIS, this partnership means expanding the accessibility and utility of their EURS stablecoin to a broader audience, particularly within the DeFi sector. By leveraging Folks Finance’s advanced lending and borrowing tools, EURS gains an additional layer of functionality and appeal, making it an attractive option for users looking for stable and reliable digital assets.

For Folks Finance, this collaboration with STASIS adds a high-profile asset to its platform, attracting users who prefer transacting in stablecoins pegged to fiat currencies like the euro. The inclusion of EURS enriches the diversity of assets available on Folks Finance, enhancing the platform’s appeal to a global user base, especially those in the Eurozone or those who prefer transacting in euros.

EURS: Trusted, Reliable and Market-Tested

STASIS EURO (EURS) stands out as the oldest and fully compliant euro stablecoin, with a proven track record of over five years. It’s recognized for its stability and compliance, having transferred over 6 billion euros on-chain across multiple major blockchains. The 1:1 backing of EURS assets, with collateral stored at the Central Bank, mitigates commercial banking risks, providing users with a trustworthy and stable option in the volatile crypto market.

Folks Finance is revolutionizing DeFi with its user-friendly platform that offers a comprehensive suite of tools for lending, borrowing, trading, and managing digital assets. Operating on the Algorand blockchain, it emphasizes a seamless user experience, competitive with centralized exchanges, while maintaining the security and transparency of permissionless smart contract technology.

A Step Forward in Web3 Financial Services

This partnership is more than just a technical integration; it’s a move towards promoting transparency, inclusivity, and innovation in the Web3 financial services ecosystem. The collaboration between STASIS and Folks Finance is a testament to the growing convergence of traditional finance and decentralized finance, paving the way for a more accessible, efficient, and inclusive financial future.
