Spiko links EU regulated T
U.S. Treasuries
Spiko has integrated Coinbase Payments into its EU-regulated UCITS Treasury funds, enabling investors to subscribe and redeem using USDC and EURC stablecoins. This integration utilizes Coinbase’s infrastructure to settle transactions on the Base layer-2 network, marking the first time UCITS funds have accepted direct stablecoin payments. By leveraging stablecoins, Spiko aims to remove traditional settlement bottlenecks, allowing for 24/7 subscription submissions and rapid redemption delivery. While the underlying fund operations remain unchanged, the move highlights a growing trend of using stablecoins as efficient settlement infrastructure for regulated financial products. This development arrives as the European UCITS market experiences record-breaking net sales, reaching 828 billion euros in 2025. The integration bridges the gap between onchain capital and traditional investment vehicles, providing a more seamless experience for institutional and eligible investors. This shift underscores the increasing utility of stablecoins in modernizing the payment rails for global mutual funds.
