Spiko raises $90M to take on BlackRock in tokenized cash funds

Paris-based fintech Spiko has successfully closed a $90 million Series B funding round led by New Enterprise Associates, bringing its total capital raised since 2023 to approximately $120 million. The company, which specializes in tokenized money market funds, reported assets under management of $2.6–2.7 billion as of late September 2026. This rapid growth, having reached $1 billion in February 2026 and $2 billion by July 2026, establishes Spiko as a leading tokenized fund issuer in Europe. The firm utilizes public blockchains like Stellar and Ethereum to offer daily interest accrual and faster settlement for its UCITS-compliant funds. By targeting the cash yield gap between Europe and the U.S., Spiko aims to provide SMEs with efficient treasury tools that compete directly with institutional giants like BlackRock. The funding round also attracted notable traditional finance figures, including former Bundesbank president Axel Weber, signaling increased institutional confidence in blockchain-native financial products. Furthermore, a new partnership with Fipto enables direct investment into Spiko funds using stablecoins such as EURC and USDC, bridging the gap between crypto liquidity and traditional sovereign debt instruments.

BlackRock Adds Tokenised Share Classes to European UCITS MMFs

BlackRock has expanded its digital asset strategy by launching twelve tokenized share classes across six of its existing UCITS-regulated money market funds. These share classes, available in EUR, GBP, and USD, utilize the Ethereum blockchain to provide 24/7 peer-to-peer transferability and real-time settlement visibility. The initiative leverages Kinexys by J.P. Morgan as the tokenization layer, which acts as a bridge between on-chain activity and the fund's traditional transfer agent infrastructure. By utilizing established UCITS structures, BlackRock aims to lower adoption barriers for institutional investors while maintaining regulatory continuity. This move represents the most significant institutional tokenized fund launch in Europe to date, targeting use cases such as corporate treasury optimization and digital collateral management. The integration of these funds into tokenized ecosystems addresses inefficiencies in traditional T+1 settlement cycles. Ultimately, the success of this deployment will depend on the speed at which custodians and treasury platforms integrate with the Kinexys infrastructure.

SoFiUSD’s Rapid Growth on Solana and Spiko Finance’s SAFO Launch Signal a New Era for Tokenized Finance

The tokenization sector has reached two significant milestones with the rapid growth of SoFiUSD on Solana and the launch of Spiko Finance’s SAFO fund. SoFiUSD achieved a circulating supply exceeding $200 million within just five weeks, underscoring strong demand for stable, efficient digital assets on high-throughput networks. Simultaneously, Spiko Finance introduced SAFO, a UCITS-compliant money market fund managed by the major European asset manager Amundi. This development is critical as it bridges traditional, highly regulated investment frameworks with the operational efficiency of blockchain technology. The success of these projects highlights a shift where tokenization moves beyond experimental use cases into established, institutional-grade financial infrastructure. Solana’s role as a preferred blockchain for these assets is solidified by its ability to provide near-instant settlement and low transaction costs. These events collectively signal a maturing ecosystem where stablecoins provide the necessary liquidity backbone for broader financial applications. Ultimately, the convergence of institutional asset management and decentralized technology is creating a more accessible and efficient global financial system.

Spiko links EU regulated T

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.
