Iron Bank EUR

Iron Bank EUR is a euro-pegged crypto asset, meant for people who want something priced around the euro rather than a free-floating token. By our assessment, that peg is its main virtue: it tries to reduce the wild swings that make ordinary crypto hard to use for settlement or accounting. The trade-off is that a pegged coin lives and dies by the mechanism behind the peg, and those mechanisms are rarely as simple as they look from the outside. In practice it behaves more like a wrapped financial instrument than like cash, with trust in the system still sitting in the middle of the experience. It belongs in the stablecoin bucket, not the speculative one, and that makes it more narrowly useful than a broad market coin.
