What to know:
- AllUnity, a joint venture of DWS, Flow Traders and Galaxy, will introduce a MiCA-compliant euro stablecoin known as EURAU.
- The venture has BaFIN approval as an e-money institution.
- EURAU will be 100% collateralized and deliver institutional-grade transparency through proof-of-reserves and regulatory reporting.
A joint venture between Deutsche Bank’s (DBK) asset management subsidiary DWS, Flow Traders and Galaxy (GLXY) said it will issue Germany’s first regulated, euro-denominated stablecoin after receiving an e-money institution (EMI) license from the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) this week.
The AllUnity EURAU stablecoin, which will comply with Europe’s Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) framework, was teased by the companies back in December 2023.

EURAU will be 100% collateralized and deliver institutional-grade transparency through proof of reserves and regulatory reporting, according to a release. The token can be used for 24/7 instant cross-border settlements, seamless integration for regulated financial institutions, fintechs, Treasuries (ERP) and enterprise clients across Europe and beyond, AllUnity said.
The stablecoin joins a growing number of euro-pegged tokens, including those that have popped up since MiCA took effect about a year ago. They include Circle’s (CRCL) EURC and Société Générale’s (GLE) EURCV alongside MiCA-compliant dollar coins such as SocGen's USDCV and the Robinhood (HOOD)-backed Global Dollar USDG.
Speaking about securing an EMI license from BaFin, Alexander Höptner, CEO of AllUnity said in a statement: "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."

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.

Stablecoins moved $35 trillion last year but only 1% of it was for 'real world' payments
While stablecoins settled around $35 trillion last year, only around 1% of that represented genuine payments like remittances and payroll, a new report found.
What to know:
- Stablecoins processed more than $35 trillion in transactions last year, but only about 1% of that reflected real-world payments, a report by McKinsey and Artemis Analytics found.
- The study estimated that roughly $390 billion in genuine stablecoin payments, such as vendor payments, payrolls, remittances and capital markets settlements.
- Despite rapid growth and increasing interest from traditional payment firms like Visa and Stripe, true stablecoin payments still account for just a tiny fraction of the more than $2 quadrillion global payments market, the report said.
