Deutsche Borse, a market infrastructure provider, aims to incorporate AllUnity’s EURAU euro-pegged stablecoin, broadening the exchange group’s digital-asset strategy after previously partnering with Circle’s Euro Coin (EURC) and Societe Generale-Forge’s EUR CoinVertible (EURCV).
Integration of EURAU
Deutsche Börse intends to include EURAU into its financial market infrastructure, beginning with institutional custody through its central securities depository arm, Clearstream, according to a Wednesday release.
Future “integration of the euro stablecoin across the entire service portfolio” was another promise made in the announcement. This would include the stablecoin in a substantial and expanding market.

With 474 listed businesses, Deutsche Börse’s domestic equity market capitalisation is around $2.23 trillion, according to statistics from the World Federation of Exchanges.
Date yet to be decided
A memorandum of agreement was signed by the two businesses, but they have not yet disclosed the exact launch date of the new services.
According to Alexander Šptner, CEO of AllUnity, the collaboration is “making onchain cross-border payments and digital assets accessible to institutional market participants.”
According to Stephanie Eckermann, an executive board member of Deutsche Börse Group, the “goal is to build a seamless bridge between the established financial world and the future of digital assets.”
Incorporating institutional-grade stablecoins enables customers “to confidently explore new possibilities in digital finance,” she continued, adding that this collaboration is a crucial component of the endeavour.
Euro stablecoin strategy
After partnering with leading stablecoin issuer Circle to accept its EURC token in late September, Deutsche Börse included EURAU. The business also revealed earlier this month that it has integrated its EURCV stablecoin with Societe Generale-Forge.
With the addition of EURAU, which is issued by a German e-money company with a BaFin license, Deutsche Börse seems to be playing the stablecoin game on all fronts.
Since Societe Generale-Forge is the blockchain division of the large French multinational bank Societe Generale, this complements EURCV, a bank-tied stablecoin; EURC is issued by a US IT company.
Following the complete implementation of the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) framework by the end of 2024, the European Union is also making headway in the acceptance of stablecoins, but not as much as the United States.
The collaboration “aligns with MiCA” and “represents a tangible step toward digitising European markets and enhancing settlement and liquidity processes,” according to the release.
Stablecoin acceptance is still low in Europe, even if it is accelerating. The European Central Bank’s (ECB) financial stability specialists stated earlier this month that low adoption and preventive regulation minimised the dangers associated with stablecoins in the euro region.
