AllUnity has announced plans to launch SEKAU, a fully regulated stablecoin backed 1:1 by the Swedish krona.
The token will be issued under the EU’s MiCAR framework as a licensed e-money token and is expected to launch in June 2026, pending final regulatory and operational approval.

SEKAU will be fully backed by Swedish krona reserves and redeemable at par value. It is designed to support 24/7 settlement, cross-border transfers, and programmable payment use cases for banks, fintech firms, and corporate clients.
The launch will expand AllUnity’s existing stablecoin portfolio, which already includes euro and Swiss franc-backed tokens, as part of its broader push to build a regulated multi-currency digital money system.
Sweden’s focus reflects push toward digital-first currency infrastructure
AllUnity said Sweden is a natural market for the new stablecoin due to its highly digital and cashless financial system. The company said SEKAU is intended to act as a modern digital version of the Swedish krona, built for global and on-chain financial use.
The stablecoin is expected to support faster and cheaper cross-border payments by reducing reliance on traditional banking settlement systems. It also aims to give institutions more flexibility in managing digital currency flows within a regulated environment.
AI payments system turns automated actions into real transactions
Alongside SEKAU, AllUnity also introduced Agentic Payments, a system designed to support transactions initiated by AI agents. The system allows businesses to accept payments from automated agents and settle directly into bank accounts in local currency.
Built on the x402 payment standard, the system enables near-instant transaction confirmation and automated conversion into fiat currencies. AllUnity said this could support new business models as AI systems increasingly perform tasks such as browsing, purchasing, and service selection on behalf of users.
The company said these developments form part of its broader strategy to strengthen Europe’s regulated digital payment infrastructure and expand stablecoin use across global commerce and financial systems.
Notably, Swedish digital commerce company Refine Group is expanding into digital assets with the launch of a Bitcoin-focused treasury strategy, marking digital assets as its third business area.
