A digital banknote (paperless banknote) with a denomination of 1 million euros was issued



The product is Paperless Banknote ON® (digital banknote), issued as a stable coin in accordance with regulatory norms MiCA (Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation). The product is being tested in the EU jurisdiction with the participation of members of the Association of Czech Banks, and on November 21, at a meeting of the fintech committee of the Association of Ukrainian Banks, a decision was made to expand the range of banks for storing reserves.

The regulated platform, where the stablecoin circulation was tested, verifies users during exchanges, including the purchase of a banknote or its conversion back to hard currency, complying with AML (Anti Money Laundering) and CFT requirements (Combating the Financing of Terrorism). For verified wallets, this provides fast transactions without the amount restrictions typical of standard unregulated stablecoins.

The banknote is issued in a ratio of 1:1 to hard currency in a reserve account in one of the leading European banks. This means that the face value of any banknote is backed by an equal face value in hard currency in each user's bank account. Unlike unregulated stablecoins, this regulated stablecoin gives the user access to collateral held in hard currency 100% of the time, with 0% transaction fees for intra-network transfers.
