What is USDAU? AllUnity launches MiCA compliant dollar stablecoin

Frankfurt-based AllUnity has launched USDAU, a US dollar-backed stablecoin, marking a significant expansion of its regulated multi-currency digital money network. Issued under the European Union’s Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) regulation, the token is fully backed by dollar reserves and redeemable 1:1. The stablecoin is live on six blockchain networks, including Ethereum, Solana, and Polygon, with plans to add more later this year. Alongside the launch, AllUnity introduced an Instant FX feature within its Business Mint Account, enabling institutional clients to convert between its euro, Swiss franc, Swedish krona, and dollar tokens. This development is critical for the RWA market as it demonstrates the integration of traditional foreign exchange mechanics with 24/7 stablecoin settlement rails. By leveraging a BaFin-licensed electronic money institution, AllUnity aims to simplify cross-border payments and treasury operations for businesses. The initiative is supported by institutional partners including Banking Circle, Flowdesk, Archax, and BitGo, highlighting the growing institutional demand for compliant, multi-currency stablecoin infrastructure.

Circle Launches Arc Mainnet, Eyes On-Chain FX Infrastructure

Circle has officially launched the public mainnet for Arc, a Layer 1 blockchain specifically engineered to serve as on-chain infrastructure for the $9.6 trillion global foreign-exchange market. By allowing transaction fees to be paid directly in stablecoins like USDC, the network eliminates the accounting volatility associated with native gas tokens, making it highly attractive to institutional participants. The ecosystem has secured significant backing from major financial entities, including BlackRock, DTCC, Mastercard, and Visa, who are serving as initial validators. BlackRock has already committed to deploying its BUIDL tokenized money-market fund on the network, while DTCC plans to integrate its custody assets by late 2027. Within two hours of the launch, the network recorded over 370 million USDC in liquidity and 176,000 active addresses. While the technology enables 24/7 trading and unified settlement, the platform's long-term success will depend on navigating complex cross-border regulatory frameworks for FX. This launch represents a strategic effort by Circle to leverage the legal clarity of USDC to capture institutional capital flows and bridge traditional finance with on-chain assets.
