AllUnity has launched SEKAU, the first fully reserved Swedish krona stablecoin built under the EU’s MiCA framework. The token is issued as an e-money token and is fully backed 1:1 by Swedish krona reserves held with regulated partners.
SEKAU is designed to support fast payments, cross-border transfers, and 24/7 settlement using blockchain networks, while staying fully compliant with European crypto rules.

Multi-chain rollout backed by regulated banking partners
SEKAU will launch across Ethereum, Solana, Base, Tempo, and Polygon, with more networks expected later. The multi-chain setup aims to make the token usable across different blockchain ecosystems while maintaining consistent reserve backing and redemption rights.
Banking Circle will act as the reserve and settlement bank, holding fiat reserves and managing liquidity operations. Marginalen Bank supports the banking layer of the launch, while Trust Anchor Group provides integration and digital asset connectivity services.
AllUnity said institutional clients will be able to mint and redeem SEKAU through its business platform. The company also said that access will expand to additional trading venues over time as adoption grows.
SEKAU challenges dollar dominance in stablecoin payments
Today, most stablecoins in the market are tied to the US dollar, which has made dollar-based settlement the default in crypto payments. SEKAU introduces a different model by bringing the Swedish krona on-chain as a regulated digital cash instrument.
This gives Swedish businesses and institutions a way to move value digitally without first converting it into dollar-based stablecoins. It also reflects a broader shift in Europe, where regulators are, under MiCA, pushing to bring stablecoins into formal financial rules rather than leaving them in regulatory grey zones.
If SEKAU gains traction, it could encourage other European countries to tokenize their own currencies, especially in regions with strong digital banking systems. This may gradually reduce reliance on dollar-based stablecoins in regional payment flows.
What does these signals mean for regulated digital money systems
SEKAU highlights a shift toward stablecoins that behave more like regulated bank money than independent crypto assets. Instead of operating outside the financial system, these tokens are being built to plug directly into it.
For crypto markets, this creates a clearer link between blockchain networks and traditional banking rails. It also shows that stablecoin competition is no longer just about crypto adoption, but about which currencies get represented in digital form first.
The organization also launched CHFAU, a Swiss franc-denominated stablecoin designed for institutional settlement and cross-border payments. The new token, pegged 1:1 to the Swiss franc, follows the company’s euro-backed format.
