AllUnity, a Frankfurt-based digital payments infrastructure provider, has launched EURAU, a euro-denominated stablecoin fully compliant with the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR). This marks Germany’s first such stablecoin to be issued under the new regulatory framework. The stablecoin is fully reserved and aligned with the requirements set by the European Union, positioning it as a key innovation in the regulated digital currency landscape [1].
The launch of EURAU was supported by major industry players, including Deutsche Bank’s DWS, Galaxy Digital, and Flow Traders. These partnerships underscore the significance of EURAU as a foundational product for institutional-grade digital assets in Europe. AllUnity CEO Alexander Höptner emphasized that the stablecoin is designed to meet the highest standards of transparency, compliance, and trust, setting a new benchmark for digital money in the region [2].
EURAU’s full compliance with MiCAR includes meeting stringent transparency, governance, and regulatory standards. This is expected to foster greater institutional and retail adoption, particularly for businesses and investors looking for a secure, tokenized euro-denominated alternative to traditional fiat currencies. The stablecoin’s regulatory alignment is also seen as a model for future stablecoin launches within the EU [3].
The launch of EURAU reflects a growing trend of financial institutions and fintech companies integrating regulated stablecoins into their infrastructure. With the MiCAR framework now operational, EURAU represents a significant step toward a more structured and trusted digital financial ecosystem. The stablecoin is expected to enhance liquidity and trust in cross-border transactions within Europe [4].
Analysts suggest that EURAU’s compliance with EU regulations could lead to broader acceptance of stablecoins in the region. The product’s institutional-grade backing is anticipated to attract both retail and institutional investors who are increasingly seeking digital assets with regulatory clarity and transparency [5].
EURAU has been highlighted by various media outlets, including PaySpace Magazine, which noted it as Germany’s first euro-denominated stablecoin issued under a fully compliant framework. The development underscores Frankfurt’s growing role as a hub for digital finance innovation in Europe [6].
