AllUnity Adds Dollar-Pegged USDAU to Its MiCA-Regulated Stablecoin Roster
Frankfurt-based issuer now covers four currencies, betting on dollar demand even as European regulators warn about dependence on the greenback.

AllUnity is issuing a US dollar-pegged stablecoin, USDAU, the fourth fiat-backed token in a lineup that already spans the euro, Swiss franc and Swedish krona. The company announced the launch on Wednesday, according to Cointelegraph, which received the announcement ahead of publication.
USDAU is designed to hold a 1:1 peg to the dollar, backed by reserves the issuer keeps separate from its own balance sheet — a structure meant to keep the token redeemable at face value. It will go live across six networks at debut: Ethereum, Solana, Base, Polygon, Tempo and Arc.
AllUnity operates under the European Union's Markets in Crypto-Assets regulation, or MiCA — the bloc's licensing framework for crypto issuers, which imposes reserve, disclosure and governance rules on stablecoin providers. The company's existing tokens are EURAU, pegged to the euro; CHFAU, pegged to the Swiss franc; and SEKAU, pegged to the Swedish krona.
Those tokens remain small by market standards. CoinGecko puts EURAU's capitalization at roughly $400,000 and CHFAU's at about $45 million. Against that backdrop, a dollar product is a commercial calculation: the overwhelming majority of stablecoin value today sits in tokens tracking the US currency.
Dollar tokens still own the market
Dollar-pegged stablecoins represent more than 99% of the roughly $291 billion global stablecoin market by capitalization, per CoinGecko data. That concentration is exactly what has unsettled European policymakers.
The European Central Bank warned in June that wider use of dollar stablecoins in European tokenized finance could increase the continent's reliance on the US currency and erode the euro's international role. The debate has focused on whether European issuers should compete in the dollar segment or concentrate on euro-denominated alternatives — and on what happens to monetary sovereignty if the former wins.
AllUnity, based in Frankfurt, is effectively doing both. Its MiCA authorization gives it a regulated path into a market where most issuance has historically come from offshore or US-domiciled firms, while its new token competes directly with the dollar incumbents.
Cointelegraph sought comment from AllUnity on the role of European issuers in the dollar stablecoin market and on concerns about the continent's reliance on dollar-denominated tokens, but had not received a response by publication.
