AllUnity, a stablecoin platform backed by Deutsche Bank, has launched CHFAU, a new stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the Swiss franc. This launch follows the successful introduction of EURAU, AllUnity’s euro-pegged stablecoin, which has already seen its market capitalization grow to $1.2 million since its debut in July 2025.
Regulated and Ready for Institutional Use
CHFAU is designed to serve as a trusted, regulated digital Swiss franc for institutional settlement, according to AllUnity CEO Alexander Höptner. “The launch of CHFAU is a fundamental milestone in our mission to build Europe’s regulated digital payments ecosystem,” Höptner said. The stablecoin is fully aligned with the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) after AllUnity secured an E-Money Institution (EMI) license from the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) in July 2025.
Initial Availability and Future Plans
Initially, CHFAU will be available to institutional and professional investors through the AllUnity Mint Platform. “We are currently finalizing exchange and trading venue integrations and will communicate specific listings as they go live,” a spokesperson for AllUnity stated. While CHFAU is technically live, broader availability across venues will be rolled out progressively with integrations.
Competition in the Swiss Franc Stablecoin Market
Although AllUnity claims CHFAU is the first MiCA-compliant Swiss franc-pegged stablecoin, several other companies have explored similar initiatives. According to data from DefiLlama, there are at least three CHF-denominated stablecoins, including Frankencoin (ZCHF), VNX Swiss Franc (VCHF), and Hedera Swiss Franc (HCHF). The combined market capitalization of these coins is roughly $38.6 million, with Frankencoin being the largest.
EURAU’s Success and Future Prospects
AllUnity’s EURAU stablecoin has been making waves since its launch. It is currently available on a limited number of exchanges, including Bullish and Aerodrome, and is also listed on platforms such as Bitpanda, Rulematch, and WAWEX. The stablecoin’s market capitalization of $1.2 million places it 16th among 22 euro-pegged stablecoins listed on CoinGecko, with the total market capitalization of all euro-pegged stablecoins now at roughly $895 million.
Looking Ahead
With the successful launch of CHFAU and the growing adoption of EURAU, AllUnity is positioning itself as a leader in the regulated stablecoin market. The company’s focus on compliance and institutional adoption sets a strong foundation for future innovations and expansions. As the regulatory landscape continues to evolve, AllUnity’s commitment to building a robust, regulated digital payments ecosystem could prove to be a significant advantage in the competitive stablecoin market.
