Most Asked Questions

The Ecu is not a CryptoCurrency. It is a network payment relying on a trusted diversified index fund. It is centralised to provide security and reliability. Unlike crypto, the volatility (swings in the value of the currency) is limited because it relies on real world assets.

The Ecu is a currency created to be stable and independent. It is directly pegged to a portfolio of diversified index funds (Bonds & Equity). This allows to counteract inflation (hence protecting your purchasing power). It also allows the Ecu to retain its value even when a country’s economy is failing or its political system is unstable.


Even though the Ecu is invested, we optimised the underlying fund to have a low volatility. Which means it does not experience large swings in value. To achieve that result, we diversify by investing all across the world, and in multiple asset classes (bonds, equity, commodity).


Events in recent years such as the spike in inflation all over the world, the Euro/Greece crisis, the currency drop in Lebanon/Turkey, the nefarious actions from the federal Reserve have shown that state currencies are not designed for the benefit of their citizens.


Even independent institutions, like the ECB (European Central Bank), usually end up working for the benefit of big publicly traded corporations (with the quantitative easing for example). This creates unfair and unstable situations for your day-to-day transactions. The Ecu is designed to correct those problems and improve lives of people.
