AllUnity plans to launch a Swedish krona-pegged stablecoin under Europe’s MiCA framework in June 2026.
Stablecoin News
AllUnity plans to issue a stablecoin pegged to the Swedish krona, targeting a June 2026 launch subject to final regulatory and operational approvals. The Frankfurt-based company is a joint venture backed by DWS, Flow Traders, and Galaxy Digital. It operates as a licensed e-money institute regulated by Germany's Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin).
The stablecoin is named SEKAU and will be backed 1:1 by Swedish krona reserves. It will be issued under the European Union's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation as a regulated e-money token. Holders will carry a statutory right to redeem the token at par value.
SEKAU Targets Institutions and Fintechs
SEKAU is designed for 24/7 instant settlement and cross-border payments. It also supports programmable finance applications. AllUnity is targeting financial institutions, fintechs, and enterprise clients as its primary user base for the token.
CEO Alexander Höptner said Sweden's push toward a cashless economy "requires a new form of digital money that is interoperable and globally accessible." He described SEKAU as "a natural evolution of the Swedish krona for today's digital economy." The June target remains conditional on completion of regulatory engagement.
SEKAU expands AllUnity's existing stablecoin portfolio, which already includes euro-backed EURAU and Swiss franc-backed CHFAU, both launched within the past year. The krona-pegged token adds a third European currency denomination to that lineup.
AllUnity also unveiled a product called Agentic Payments on May 20. It is a settlement infrastructure layer built to process payments initiated by autonomous AI software agents. The system uses Coinbase's x402 payment standard, and businesses can settle received payments directly into local bank accounts in their local currency.
CTO and COO Peter Grosskopf said AllUnity aims to be "the gateway for businesses in Europe enabling them to accept, settle, and operationalize agentic payments at scale." Support for additional agentic commerce protocols beyond x402 is planned, according to the company. US dollar-backed tokens currently account for roughly 99% of the global stablecoin market, and European firms are accelerating efforts to build regulated local-currency alternatives. On the same day as AllUnity’s announcement, banking consortium Qivalis expanded its euro-pegged stablecoin initiative to 37 banks across 15 countries.
