      Money transfers, online payments for whatever, place to park your assets in volatile times in the market, integration into other on-chain investment systems, etc…

      “Fast” international money transfer without value fluctuations. AFAIK, it’s used to send money back overseas without fees and for online casinos. Most stablecoins are based on the USD, which has been dropping due to the actions of a certain person. It seems like a reasonable decision to create an “official” euro stablecoin. The EU has been pushing for an EU payment processor to avoid reliance on US based / connected payment countries, this seems like it might be related to that.
