Dutch police arrested two men suspected of using counterfeit EURC stablecoins to fraudulently obtain Rolex watches from sellers on Marktplaats, a major Dutch online marketplace. The fake tokens appeared genuine in wallets, tricking sellers into releasing valuable watches before discovering the tokens had no real value. One suspect remains detained after police found firearms and drugs during a search, while the other is under investigation. Authorities warn sellers to verify cryptocurrency payments carefully, as fake tokens can closely mimic legitimate ones like Circle's EURC, which is fully backed by euro reserves and redeemable one-to-one for euros.
