A partnership called AllUnity, formed by Deutsche Bank’s asset management arm DWS, Flow Traders, and Galaxy, got approval from Germany’s financial regulator, BaFin, to act as an e-money institution. This allows them to launch EURAU, Germany’s first regulated stablecoin tied to the euro.
EURAU will be fully backed by euros in German bank accounts and will follow the EU’s 2024 crypto rules (MiCA). It will be transparent, with regular checks by outside auditors and reports to BaFin.
As per the reports, AllUnity wants to do more than just make a stablecoin. They have a plan to use EURAU for things like fast 24/7 global payments, which will help the companies to manage money better, and to turn real-world assets into digital tokens.
By working within Germany’s strict financial rules, AllUnity’s goal is to make banks and businesses feel safe by using this digital euro. Based in Frankfurt and led by CEO Alexander Höptner, the company combines DWS’s money management skills, Flow Traders’ trading expertise, and Galaxy Digital’s tech, like secure storage and token creation tools.
EURAU, the stablecoin from AllUnity, is built to work on different blockchains, like Ethereum and other fast networks designed for financial use. AllUnity has not shared exactly which blockchains it will use, but they say EURAU will work with many systems for flexibility.
With approval from Germany’s regulator BaFin, AllUnity is a leader in Europe’s regulated stablecoin market. EURAU stands out because it follows strict rules and is transparent, unlike some other euro-based stablecoins with less oversight. The initiatives to launch EURAU come as big companies and banks are showing more interest in stablecoins as a major financial tool under the EU’s new crypto rules (MiCA).
The crypto community is excited and is waiting for more details on it to come, like when the EURAU will be launched, which blockchains it will support, and how businesses will use it. AllUnity’s approach could be a model for future euro-based digital currencies, with the launch expected soon.
