[Gauntlet] - Integrate EURC on Euler Prime (2025-07-08)

Overview

EURC is a euro-pegged, crypto-native stablecoin launched by Circle. It is fully collateralized by segregated euro-denominated reserves, including bank deposits, short-term treasury bills, and commercial paper, and adheres to the ERC-20 token standard. Monthly attestations by leading audit firms ensure that each EURC token remains backed 1:1 by euro-equivalent assets, providing transparency and strong on-chain stability.

Onchain Summary

  • Total Supply: $210M
  • Estd* DEX Liquidity: $48.4M
  • Estd* DEX Daily Volume: $34.7M

Cap Recommendations

Token Supply Cap Borrow Cap
EURC 12M 11.4M

The Supply Cap is set to 25% of DEX liquidity. The Borrow Cap for EURC is set to 95% of the Supply Cap.

Interest Rate Curve Recommendations

Since EURC has a risk profile that is very similar to USDC, we recommend using the same Interest Rate Curve as USDC:

  • Kink utilization of 90%
  • Kink borrow APY of 5.5%
  • Max APY of 40%

LLTV Recommendations

We recommend setting the LLTV to the same rates as USDC on Euler Prime.

Summary

Objective Labs has reviewed Gauntlet’s recommendations about EURC on Euler Prime. Our recommendation is not to list EURC at this stage due to low DEX liquidity and limited demand.

Liquidity Risk

Our analysis could not confirm Gauntlet’s stated figures for DEX liquidity. EURC has less than $10M total liquidity to USDC.

Our liquidity simulations indicate that EURC can support trades up to ~$900K with minimal slippage (<0.5%), and up to ~$1.5M with slippage staying below 1%. Beyond this range, slippage increases more sharply, reaching ~2.9% at $3.25M trade size.

These levels suggest the market is not deep enough to support healthy collateral liquidations given that Euler Prime attracts many uncorrelated borrowers. Market depth would be a persistent concern for increasing caps for EURC on Euler Prime and the same could not be prudently increased above 3M.

Low Demand

To gauge market demand for EURC we look at existing lending protocol integrations. EURC is listed on Aave on Ethereum with total supply <$2M. EURC is also listed on Aave on the Base instance with supply at $20M. The majority of EURC liquidity is on Base, and more EURC incentive programs historically have been run on Base. Given Coinbase and Circle’s relationship, we believe Base is a more strategic chain for EURC and thus growth potential on Ethereum is limited. We estimate <$1M organic demand for EURC on Euler Prime.
