AllUnity has partnered with a consortium of European banks to act as reserve custodians. This structure aims to satisfy regulators and institutions seeking transparency, supported by routine proof-of-reserve disclosures.
The token debuts with trading pairs BTC/EURAU and USDC/EURAU on Bullish Europe, a BaFin-regulated digital asset exchange. Flow Traders will provide liquidity as the market maker. (Bullish is also the owner of Coindesk.)
Backed by names like BitGo, Metzler Bank and Fireblocks, EURAU signals a broader push to embed regulated stablecoins into Europe’s financial infrastructure. AllUnity’s CEO, Alexander Höptner, called the launch a step toward “financial sovereignty” in a digital Europe.
