Thunes Expands Web3 Infrastructure with EURC to Enable Instant Euro Treasury Funding

Thunes to integrate the MiCA-compliant EURC stablecoin across major blockchains, serving as a critical bridge between digital assets and traditional fiat.

SINGAPORE - August 13, 2026 - Thunes, the Smart Superhighway to move money around the world, today announced the expansion of its stablecoin liquidity management capabilities with the launch of EURC¹ prefunding. By integrating Circle's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA)-compliant, euro-backed stablecoin EURC, Thunes is expanding its treasury funding capabilities and enabling its Network Members to optimise their treasury operations with 24/7 global value movement.

This development builds on Thunes' collaboration with Circle in October 2024, which introduced USDC-powered liquidity to Thunes' Direct Global Network. With the addition of EURC, eligible Members of Thunes' Direct Global Network can use EURC as their liquidity currency to prefund transactions and manage treasury flows with greater speed, flexibility and operational continuity.

For businesses managing cross-border payment flows, EURC prefunding enables 24/7 treasury operations unconstrained by traditional banking hours. This gives Network Members the ability to fund high-value euro transactions instantly, including during weekends and holidays, while maintaining the liquidity needed to respond to demand in real time.

Consistent with Thunes' network-agnostic architecture, EURC prefunding is supported across major blockchains including Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Base (BASE) and Stellar (XLM).

By bridging digital assets with over 90 fiat currencies, Thunes allows its Members including fintechs, neobanks, payment service providers (PSPs) and gig-economy platforms, to move funds seamlessly between both ecosystems with instant settlement. Thunes also enables Web3-native companies to fund their accounts directly from their digital treasuries using a native, MiCA-compliant Euro asset instead of converting to fiat first, saving time and reducing operational costs.
