Crypto: Deutsche Bank-backed Allunity Launches Swiss Franc Stablecoin Chfau

Initially available to institutions via the AllUnity Mint Platform, CHFAU stablecoin launches under MiCA compliance after securing a license from the German regulator, BaFin.

AllUnity, a stablecoin platform backed by Deutsche Bank, has launched a new stablecoin denominated in Swiss francs (CHF).

After introducing its euro-pegged EURAU stablecoin last year, AllUnity is rolling out CHFAU, a stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the franc, the company said in an announcement shared with Cointelegraph on Thursday.

Initially available to institutional and professional investors, CHFAU launches on the Ethereum blockchain as an ERC-20 token, with plans to expand to additional networks later this year.

CHFAU enters the market fully aligned with the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), as AllUnity secured an E-Money Institution (EMI) license from the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) in July 2025.

“The launch of CHFAU is a fundamental milestone in our mission to build Europe’s regulated digital payments ecosystem,” AllUnity CEO Alexander Höptner said.

CHFAU will be exclusively available to institutional and professional clients through the AllUnity Mint Platform, a spokesperson for AllUnity said.

“We are currently finalizing exchange and trading venue integrations and will communicate specific listings as they go live,” the company said, adding that CHFAU is technically live, but broader availability across venues will be rolled out progressively through integrations.

“The primary purpose of CHFAU is to serve as a trusted, regulated digital Swiss franc for institutional settlement,” Höptner told Cointelegraph, adding:

AllUnity was founded in early 2024 as a joint venture by Deutsche Bank’s asset management arm DWS, market maker Flow Traders and crypto company Galaxy Digital with the aim of issuing fully regulated stablecoins.
