What Are Quantoz’s EURQ & USDQ Tokens?

Quantoz Payments has introduced MiCA-compliant stablecoins, EURQ, and USDQ, designed to operate within the European Union’s regulated cryptocurrency markets. These tokens, classified as Electronic Money Tokens (EMTs), bridge traditional financial systems and blockchain technology while adhering to stringent regulatory standards set by the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR).

The EURQ and USDQ tokens are designed to address liquidity and payment needs in secondary markets, such as digital asset trading platforms and Decentralised Finance (DeFi) protocols. EURQ, backed by the Euro, and USDQ, backed by the US Dollar, provide stable, low-cost solutions for cross-border transactions, trading, and hedging against cryptocurrency volatility. These tokens are issued on the Ethereum blockchain as ERC-20 tokens, leveraging blockchain’s decentralised infrastructure to enable rapid, secure transfers while adhering to MiCA’s requirements for stability, transparency, and consumer protection.

MiCA compliance is a distinguishing feature of Quantoz’s stablecoins, ensuring that they can be confidently used within regulated EU crypto markets. This compliance mandates robust safeguards, such as independent audits and strict oversight by the Dutch Central Bank (DNB) under an Electronic Money Institution (EMI) licence. Quantoz Payments also ensures the segregation of customer funds from corporate assets, managed by the independent Quantoz Foundation, which oversees the minting and redemption of stablecoins. These measures provide additional layers of trust and security, aligning with regulatory frameworks to support the adoption of stablecoins in institutional and retail markets.

The stablecoins’ utility spans several applications, from facilitating cross-border payments and reducing transaction costs to enhancing DeFi activities like lending and liquidity provision. Their programmability supports diverse use cases in Web3 and the Internet of Things (IoT), enabling compliant micropayments and automated machine-to-machine transactions. With their adherence to MiCA and the advantages of blockchain technology, Quantoz’s stablecoins serve as a critical bridge between traditional finance and the evolving digital asset ecosystem in the European Union.

EURQ & USDQ Tokenomics

The tokenomics of EURQ and USDQ are structured to maintain their stability by being fully backed 1:1 by reserves of Euros or US Dollars, respectively. For every EURQ or USDQ token issued, an equivalent amount of fiat currency is held in reserve in secure, regulated accounts managed by the Quantoz Foundation. This independent foundation operates solely to safeguard customer funds, ensuring they are segregated from the operational funds of Quantoz Payments. The reserve mechanism is regularly audited by independent entities to verify that the total amount of tokens in circulation is always fully collateralised by corresponding fiat reserves. This backing ensures the tokens’ value stability and compliance with the EU’s regulatory standards, providing users with confidence in their use as digital currency equivalents.
