StablR Ltd (Malta, C 104007) positions itself as a MiCA-ready euro-stablecoin issuer. Official filings show a simple Dutch holding chain, but deeper registry work and legacy links to Payvision’s cyber-crime scandal raise doubts about the project’s true beneficial owners (UBOs). While no hard evidence yet ties Payvision founder Rudolf Booker (or other ex-shareholders) directly to StablR, multiple red flags—including addresses previously used by Booker-controlled entities and a board dominated by former Payvision managers—demand regulatory scrutiny.
MiCA compliance, Malta EMI license, real-time attestations, institutional governance— the latest whitepaper (v3.1) from stablecoin issuer StablR Ltd reads like a checklist of regulatory best practices. But behind this sleek, compliant façade lies a troubling contradiction: the company’s leadership history and backers tell a story that regulators and investors should not ignore.
StablR, an EU stablecoin issuer, continues to operate under heightened scrutiny due to both its leadership’s controversial legacy and the evolving regulatory environment in the EU. The company issues two stablecoins: EURR (euro-pegged) and USDR (dollar-pegged). As of May 1, 2025, StablR reports 12,654,544 EURR issued and 5,400,469 USDR issued.
StablR, a stablecoin issuer founded by Dutch tech entrepreneur Gijs Op de Weegh in April 2023, has garnered attention with its MiCA-compliant euro stablecoin EURR and recent seed financing success. However, a closer examination reveals significant concerns regarding the company’s leadership and background that could undermine investor confidence. Key individuals of the StablR scheme, including its founder and CEO, have a past with the notorious scam facilitator Payvision.
