AllUnity Prepares to Launch SEKAU Stablecoin Backed by Swedish Krona
European FinTech company AllUnity is preparing to launch SEKAU, the first stablecoin denominated in Swedish krona. At the same time, the company introduced a payment infrastructure designed for transactions involving AI agents.
AllUnity, a regulated European stablecoin issuer and licensed Electronic Money Institution (EMI), plans to issue SEKAU, a Swedish krona-pegged stablecoin fully compliant with MiCA requirements. The new asset is aimed at financial institutions, FinTech companies, and corporate clients seeking instant settlements, cross-border payments, and programmable financial operations.
Key features of SEKAU:
- 1:1 backing with the Swedish krona;
- issued as an electronic money token (EMT);
- redeemable at face value;
- support for 24/7 settlements.
The official launch of SEKAU is scheduled for June 2026.
According to AllUnity, the choice of the Swedish krona reflects Sweden’s high level of digitalization and the rapid decline of cash payments across the country. AllUnity CEO Alexander Höptner stated that SEKAU is intended to become a tool for instant settlements, programmable money, and cross-border payments in today’s digital economy.
The launch of SEKAU will expand AllUnity’s lineup of regulated digital assets, which already includes euro- and Swiss franc-backed stablecoins — EURAU and CHFAU.
At the same time, the company introduced Agentic Payments, a payment infrastructure for businesses designed to support transactions involving autonomous AI agents. The solution is expected to allow European companies to accept payments for content, data, and services, while receiving payouts directly to local bank accounts in fiat currency.
Agentic Payments is built on the open payment standard x402. AllUnity plans to add support for additional protocols in the future. The company claims that agent-based transactions are confirmed almost instantly, while conversion and settlement to bank accounts are faster and cheaper compared to traditional correspondent banking infrastructure.
AllUnity CTO and COO Peter Grosskopf noted that the growing number of AI agents could reshape existing internet economy models, including advertising and subscription-based services. According to him, European businesses will require regulated payment infrastructure capable of processing such operations at industrial scale.
Infrastructure solutions for agentic commerce are already being developed by Google, Cloudflare, Ant Group, Circle, Visa, Coinbase, and many other technology giants. Ethereum is emerging as the key infrastructure layer for the agent economy, although other blockchains are also competing for this role.
