đšđ A Swiss franc-backed stablecoin is born
AllUnity, supported by Deutsche Bank, launches the CHFAU, a stablecoin based on the Swiss franc. This ERC-20 token complies with MiCA regulations and is approved by BaFin.
Initially aimed at institutional and professional investors, the CHFAU could be extended to other blockchains in the future. đŒ
