Frankfurt-based Allunity, a joint venture between DWS, Flow Traders, and Galaxy, announced the launch of CHFAU on February 26, 2026. Regulated by BaFin as an E-Money Institute, the firm developed this 1:1 Swiss Franc-pegged token in just three months to meet corporate demand for a regulated digital CHF. The asset functions as an E-Money Token (EMT), ensuring it adheres to the strict reserve and transparency requirements of the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR).
The CHFAU stablecoin initially debuts on the Ethereum blockchain as an ERC-20 token, with multi-chain expansion scheduled for later this year. It joins EURAU in Allunity’s regulated portfolio, providing institutional clients with a multicurrency framework for 24/7 instant liquidity and treasury operations. Onboarded institutions can access the asset directly through the Allunity Mint platform to facilitate secure, friction-free capital movement.
“The launch of CHFAU is a fundamental milestone in our mission to build Europe’s regulated digital payments ecosystem,” says Alexander Höptner, CEO of Allunity.
