In the grand theater of global finance, where the dollar stumbles and the euro struts, Circle’s Euro Coin (EURC) has emerged as the unlikely protagonist. As the trade war gnaws at the dollar’s dominance, this euro-pegged stablecoin is basking in the limelight, its market cap swelling like a well-fed aristocrat at a banquet.
“The euro, dear friends, has become the belle of the ball,” declared Alex Obchakevich, founder of Obchakevich Research, in a recent X post. “And our humble EURC? It’s dancing right alongside, stealing glances from the crowd.”
Indeed, the euro has climbed 2.2%, flirting with $1.13—a height it hasn’t seen since February 2022. Meanwhile, decentralized finance protocol Aave welcomed €2.3 million of Euro Coin inflows in April alone, as if the coin were a long-lost friend returning from exile.
CoinMarketCap data reveals that EURC’s market cap has ballooned from a modest $84 million at the end of 2024 to a staggering $198 million by mid-April—a 136% leap that would make even the most jaded investor raise an eyebrow.
The Euro’s Ascent: A Tale of Trade Wars and Tumbling Dollars
As the dollar falters under the weight of escalating trade tensions, the euro has seized the moment, rising like a phoenix from the ashes of economic uncertainty. Since December 31, 2024, the dollar has slipped from 0.97 euro to 0.88 euro—a 9.3% decline that has left the greenback looking rather… well, green.
“The US and EU will likely strike a trade deal, stabilizing the euro at $1.11,” Obchakevich mused. “But EURC? Oh, it’s just getting started.”
“EURC will continue to grow through integration with various payment systems and blockchains,” he predicted, with the confidence of a man who’s seen the future and found it amusing.
After launching on Ethereum, EURC has spread its wings, deploying on Avalanche, Base, Stellar, Sonic, and Solana. Obchakevich, ever the optimist, shared his vision of the future:
“I predict EURC will grow to 400 million euros by year’s end, buoyed by MiCA regulatory support and the ever-present specter of economic challenges.”
MiCA: Circle’s Regulatory Windfall
Circle, the issuer of Euro Coin and USDC, is reaping the rewards of its regulatory-friendly approach. Its products are the top euro and dollar-pegged stablecoins compliant with the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation—a feat that has left competitors scrambling.
Tether, the current stablecoin market leader with its USDt boasting a $144 billion market cap, is feeling the heat. USDC, with its $60 billion market cap, may be trailing, but the gap is expected to narrow as USDt faces increasing pressure in the EU due to its lack of MiCA compliance.
This trend reached its climax in March when Binance, the world’s leading crypto exchange, delisted USDt for its European Economic Area users—a move that left many wondering if Tether’s reign is nearing its end.

- tag, not repeated as a header. They want all images retained and no tags or color styles. First, I’ll start with the title. The original title is “Hyperliquid Price Reversal, Will Bears Drag HYPE Down to $35?” I need to make it more clickbaity and Terry Pratchett-esque. Maybe something like “Hyperliquid’s Great HYPE-Drama: Bulls vs. Bears in a Deathwobble of Doom 🐂🐻💸” That’s under 100 characters? Let me check: “Hyperliquid’s Great HYPE-Drama: Bulls vs. Bears in a Deathwobble of Doom 🐂🐻💸” – yes, 97 characters. Good. Next, the body. The first paragraph talks about the rollercoaster week with whale activity and liquidations. Terry would probably compare it to something absurd. Maybe a “rollercoaster” isn’t enough. Maybe “the Hyperliquid rollercoaster took a detour through a black hole” or something. Also, mention the whale trader with a humorous twist. Maybe “a certain whale with a penchant for drama and a balance sheet thicker than a fantasy novel” to add that Pratchett flair. The second paragraph about the $19 billion event. Maybe refer to it as “the Great Liquidation of Doom” or something. “fresh on the backdrop” could be “fresh from the annals of ‘Oh My Goodness, Not Again'” to add humor. In the price analysis section, the 8% drop. Terry might compare it to a “graceful swan dive into a puddle of despair.” The market cap and volume up 4.22%-maybe “panic selling and algorithmic trades are having a party where the only music is the sound of wallets sobbing.” The technicals part: slipped below SMA lines. Maybe “HYPE decided to play ‘hot potato’ with its moving averages.” MACD and RSI-describe them as “momentum indicators are throwing a hissy fit” and RSI “hovering near 41 like a nervous pigeon.” The FAQs need to be rewritten with sarcasm. “Why is Hyperliquid underperforming?” could be phrased as “Why is Hyperliquid underperforming? Well, let’s see. It’s like asking why a duck is bad at chess…” Then mention the technical breakdowns and whale shorts as “a perfect storm of technical breakdowns and whale-sized shorts.” Next support level: “The $33-$35 range is the next critical support zone…” Maybe “the $33-$35 range is where hopes go to be gently soothed by Fibonacci fairy dust.” Recovery question: “HYPE needs a sustained close above $41.42…” Maybe “HYPE needs to do the equivalent of a sober caber toss over $41.42.” Throughout, add emojis where appropriate. For example, after mentioning whales, add 🐋💸. In the FAQs, maybe 💩 for the underperforming question. Check for all images retained. The figure tag is there, so leave it as is. Avoid using tags, no color styles. Ensure the title is only in the tag and not as a header. The original had H2 headers, so keep those but maybe tweak the text to be more whimsical. Like “Hyperliquid Price Analysis” becomes “Hyperliquid Price Analysis (Or: The Day the HYPE Died?)” Wait, but the user said not to repeat the title in the body as a header. The original title was “Hyperliquid Price Reversal, Will Bears Drag HYPE Down to $35?” but the new title is different. So the H2 headers should be original, so the first H2 can stay as “Hyperliquid Price Analysis” but maybe add some humor there. Alternatively, maybe “Hyperliquid’s Great Adventure in the Land of Red Arrows” or something. But need to make sure it’s not the same as the title. Also, ensure that the humor is consistent throughout, with a bit of sarcasm and playful language. Avoid markdown, just HTML. Check for any tags and remove them. Use , , , etc., as in the original. Finally, wrap it all in HTML structure with the new title, and ensure emojis are appropriately placed without overdoing it. Let me go through each section step by step and inject the humor, sarcasm, and emojis as per Terry Pratchett’s style.End of Thought (23.26s) Hyperliquid’s Great HYPE-Drama: Bulls vs. Bears in a Deathwobble of Doom 🐂🐻💸
