I live in the EU, my bank is in the EU and I deposit funds into my account as EUR Yet, 99% of my transactions are on the US market.

Well I am in same box, but as I knew I would invest 90% in USD, I created USD account, used Revolut to convert to USD and wire free of charge. It is the risk of currency rate, you can always close your EU account and created USD. T212 promised multicurrency account but not until end of year…
