AllUnity intends to expand CHFAU integration across exchanges, and other blockchains in the future.
AllUnity, a German digital asset company, has just launched CHFAU – a Swiss Franc stablecoin. This is a major step forward for regulated digital currency in Europe. It is fully backed by Swiss Franc reserves at 1:1 and is available on Ethereum as an ERC-20 Token.
CHFAU was designed for institutional use. It can be used to manage treasury, cross-border payments and crypto settlements. Currently, institutional and professional investors are able to access it through AllUnity’s mint platform. However, the company plans on rolling it out across exchanges and blockchains later in the year.
CHFAU’s key feature is that it is fully MiCA-compliant, which is the EU’s regulatory framework. It’s also issued by AllUnity, a licensed electronic money institution under Germany’s BaFin Financial Authority. This means strict rules, complete transparency, and guaranteed rights of redemption, which is one of the main reasons institutions are hesitant to use stablecoins.
The Swiss Franc was chosen strategically because it is seen as a safe haven for the global economy, especially during times of market instability. By putting it on-chain, institutions can use it to make instant payments that are programmable without the need for traditional banks.
Alexander Hoptner said after the announcement that: “The launch is CHFAU represents a fundamental milestone in Our mission to build Europe’s regulated digital payment ecosystem. We were able to move from concept to launch within a few months in response to the strong demand for a Swiss Franc digital that was compliant. This demonstrated the strength and scalability AllUnity’s Multicurrency Platform. This milestone is only the beginning of a larger transformation in how global liquid moves.”

AllUnity’s growth
AllUnity is a joint-venture between Deutsche Bank’s asset management arm DWS and trading firm Flow Traders. Galaxy Digital, a crypto investment giant, also participated.
This isn’t even the first stablecoin for the company. In July 2025 it launched a stablecoin for the euro called EURAU. It is also MiCA compliant and designed for institutional use. It has since been integrated into larger financial systems via deals with Stripe-owned Privy and Deutsche Borse.
CHFAU extends AllUnity’s multicurrency drive, allowing regulated digital versions to live side-by-side on blockchain. The company’s stated goal is to enable instant global payments and real time settlements that are compliant with rules.
Stablecoins have become a fundamental building block for global finance. However, most of them are still based on the US dollar. Stablecoins will become the preferred tool for global payments, as more currencies, such as the Swiss franc, are moving to the blockchain in a regulated format.
