BREAKING: AllUnity’s MiCA-Compliant EURAU Stablecoin Gets BaFin Greenlight—Euro Crypto Just Leveled Up
Germany’s financial watchdog just handed AllUnity a regulatory win—and Europe’s crypto markets might never be the same. The BaFin-approved EURAU stablecoin now has a license to operate under MiCA frameworks, making it the first fully compliant euro-pegged digital asset with teeth.
Why this matters: Forget ‘wild west’ stablecoins. EURAU’s approval signals that institutional-grade crypto is here—whether traditional banks like it or not. The move could turbocharge eurozone DeFi adoption while giving regulators a false sense of control.
Bonus jab: Watch legacy finance scramble to ‘partner’ with projects like this after years of calling stablecoins a systemic risk. Nothing soothes regulatory panic like a cut of the profits.
AllUnity, a joint venture asset manager between DWS, Flow, Traders, and Galaxy, has announced that it has received a BaFin license in Germany to issue a MiCA-compliant euro-pegged stablecoin, EURAU. This encourages the launch of EURAU with institutional-grade proof reserves and financial reporting, ensuring transparency and reliability.
AllUnity Secures BaFin License
On July 1, AllUnity received an e-money institution (EMI) license from the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin), allowing the company to issue stablecoin that is fully compliant with Europe’s Markets in crypto Assets (MiCA) framework.
Alexander Hoptner, CEO of AllUnity, said, “Securing the EMI license from BaFin is a monumental achievement for AllUnity and a testament to our dedication to regulatory excellence. This license is not just a regulatory hurdle cleared; it’s a foundational step towards building a truly secure, transparent, and compliant digital cross-border payment ecosystem for Europe and global markets.”
AllUnity’s Target with EURAU
AllUnity is planning to launch EURAU, which will be 100% collateralized to deliver great transparency through proof of reserves and regulatory reporting. With this euro-pegged stablecoin, EURAU, AllUnity is aiming for seamless cross-border transactions across Europe and beyond, catering to both fintech platforms and established financial institutions.
AllUnity is offering a versatile and compatible solution for the evolving digital payments landscape with the EURAU, which is expected to be compatible with enterprise systems and decentralized finance protocols.
Stablecoin Battle and MiCA Compliance
AllUnity’s announcement comes at a time when Europe is becoming a hotspot in the global stablecoin race, especially with new MiCA rules coming into effect in December 2024. Tether, the biggest stablecoin in the world, has chosen not to follow these rules, causing its USDT token to be removed from top exchanges like Binance, Kraken, and Coinbase for European users.
With a MiCA-compliance, support of financial institutions, and a determined focus, AllUnity is poised to succeed with EURAU.
Final Thought
AllUnity is expected to endure a big competition and hurdles in its way of regulating EURAU, like the Tether did during the USTD launch. However, despite all the challenges, USDT emerged to be the dominant market leader with a significant lead over other stablecoins. Now, it is time for the investors to see if EURAU can accomplish the same heights or will it fail to gain such popularity.
