EURO (EUROFI) falls under “Fixed-supply utility token”. The assessment below weighs its real use against the core prohibitions of riba, gharar and maysir.
01What it is
A fixed-supply ERC-20 utility token on Base, permanently capped at 2,000,000 with no mint function.
02Why this assessment
It has no built-in interest, no staking yield, and a fixed, non-inflatable supply, a profile that leans permissible as a digital utility token and medium of exchange. Speculation, as with any traded asset, remains the user's own responsibility.
03The Islamic-finance lens
EURO (EUROFI) has genuine utility. Many scholars treat a real, lawful function as a point in favor of permissibility, because value then derives from usefulness rather than pure speculation.
Using EURO (EUROFI) as a medium of exchange for lawful goods and services is generally the least controversial use, provided the underlying transaction itself is halal.
04Key considerations
05How to approach it
Practical takeaway: many scholars consider EURO (EUROFI) generally permissible to own and use for its intended purpose. Even so, avoid leverage, interest-bearing products, and buying purely to gamble on price. Keep your intention on lawful use or genuine long-term ownership.

Is EURO (EUROFI) halal or haram?
