To support that growth, the company will use Elliptic’s Lens, Investigator, and Navigator tools for automated anti-money laundering screening, real-time monitoring, and cross-chain investigation, the press release reads.

Monerium claims it has processed over €4 billion in transaction volume and claims EURe is the most widely used stablecoin in Europe by that measure. It’s expected that with Elliptic, the new compliance tools could help Monerium reduce manual checks by up to 60%.

Elliptic CTO Jackson Hull commenting on the partnership said that Monerium will now be equipped to “manage operational hurdles, including compliance scalability, identifying fraudulent activity and maintaining transparency while safeguarding user data.”

EURe is backed by euro-denominated deposits and connected to the SEPA system, allowing euro transfers between blockchain wallets and traditional bank accounts. As of press time, the stablecoin is available on Ethereum, Polygon, Gnosis, Cosmos, and Noble networks.
