Germany-based stablecoin issuer AllUnity plans to launch a stablecoin backed fully by the Swedish krona.
CoinDesk reported on May 20 that AllUnity said it will launch SEKAU, a stablecoin fully collateralized by reserves in Swedish kronor. The token is due to debut next month, pending final regulatory and operational approval.
SEKAU will be issued under the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets, or MiCA, framework. “Sweden has long led the transition to a cashless economy,” AllUnity Chief Executive Officer Alexander Höptner said. “That transition requires a new form of digital money that is interoperable and globally accessible.”
AllUnity also unveiled an artificial intelligence payment system called Agentic Payments on May 20. The system allows companies to approve payments initiated by AI agents and settle funds directly into local bank accounts. It uses x402, a payment standard from US cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase.
Over the past year, AllUnity has also launched stablecoins based on the euro and the Swiss franc.
