AllUnity launches CHFAU, a MiCA-compliant Swiss franc stablecoin on Ethereum, targeting institutional payments, settlements, and treasury operations.
A new Swiss franc stablecoin entered the regulated crypto market this week. AllUnity launched CHFAU on the Ethereum blockchain. The stablecoin is focused on institutional financial use cases. Therefore, regulated Swiss franc liquidity is available on-chain to banks and financial companies.
The project has been backed by major financial companies such as Deutsche Bank, DWS Group, Galaxy Digital, and Flow Traders. Therefore, the combination of banking expertise and digital asset infrastructure is what the partnership brings together.
CHFAU operates under the European regulatory framework of crypto assets. The stablecoin is in compliance with the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation rules. As a result, the project is centered on the topic of compliant digital currency services in the European financial system.

Importantly, the project received regulatory approval from BaFin. The regulator granted an Electronic Money Institution license in July 2025. Therefore, regulated fiat-backed stablecoins issued by AllUnity can be legally issued across markets in the European Union.
Developers introduced CHFAU as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum. This structure supports existing custody infrastructure and smart contract tools. Consequently, financial institutions can combine the stablecoin with the established blockchain systems.
In addition, the token is pegged at a 1:1 ratio to the reserves of Swiss franc. These reserves are still held in segregated accounts of regulated financial institutions. Therefore, the structure is aimed at providing transparency and financial security.
For now, the stablecoin will only be available to institutional and professional investors. Access is via the AllUnity Mint Platform. Therefore, the ability to mint and redeem tokens is directly available to banks and large financial firms.
The new stablecoin targets several institutional financial applications. These are cross-border payments and faster settlement processes. Therefore, international transactions can be delayed less by multinational companies.
On top of that, CHFAU is supporting treasury and liquidity management strategies. Companies can handle funds on blockchain networks rather than the traditional correspondent banking channels. As such, institutions can become more efficient and cut operational costs.
Another important use case is safe-haven currency exposure. The Swiss franc tends to be a stable currency when economic uncertainty is present. Therefore, the demand of institutions for digital access to Swiss franc liquidity is on the rise.
The launch also indicates a rise in the demand for stablecoins not denominated in dollars worldwide. Dollar peg tokens still dominate the market. However, investors are now looking at alternatives that have strong national currencies.
AllUnity previously launched EURAU as a euro-pegged stablecoin in 2025. That token has an estimated market capitalization of roughly $1.2 million currently. Therefore, CHFAU enlarges the company’s multi-currency stablecoin platform.
Looking ahead, AllUnity aims to extend CHFAU to other blockchain networks throughout the year 2026. Consequently, the project aims to enhance interoperability in the world. The strategy also aims at the wider adoption of regulated digital currencies in financial markets.
