Deutsche Bank’s DWS, Galaxy, Flow Traders Venture to Introduce German-Regulated Stablecoin

Published

on

A joint venture between Deutsche Bank’s (DBK) asset management subsidiary DWS, Flow Traders and Galaxy (GLXY) said it will issue Germany’s first regulated, euro-denominated stablecoin after receiving an e-money institution (EMI) license from the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) this week.

The AllUnity EURAU stablecoin, which will comply with Europe’s Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) framework, was teased by the companies back in December 2023.

EURAU will be 100% collateralized and deliver institutional-grade transparency through proof of reserves and regulatory reporting, according to a release. The token can be used for 24/7 instant cross-border settlements, seamless integration for regulated financial institutions, fintechs, Treasuries (ERP) and enterprise clients across Europe and beyond, AllUnity said.

The stablecoin joins a growing number of euro-pegged tokens, including those that have popped up since MiCA took effect about a year ago. They include Circle’s (CRCL) EURC and Société Générale’s (GLE) EURCV alongside MiCA-compliant dollar coins such as SocGen’s USDCV and the Robinhood (HOOD)-backed Global Dollar USDG.

Speaking about securing an EMI license from BaFin, Alexander Höptner, CEO of AllUnity said in a statement: «This license is not just a regulatory hurdle cleared, it’s a foundational step towards building a truly secure, transparent and compliant digital cross-border payment ecosystem for Europe and global markets.»

Crypto Trading Firm Keyrock Buys Luxembourg’s Turing Capital in Asset Management Push

Published

By

Crypto trading firm Keyrock said it’s expanding into asset and wealth management by acquiring Turing Capital, a Luxembourg-registered alternative investment fund manager.

The deal, announced on Tuesday, marks the launch of Keyrock’s Asset and Wealth Management division, a new business unit dedicated to institutional clients and private investors.

Keyrock, founded in Brussels, Belgium and best known for its work in market making, options and OTC trading, said it will fold Turing Capital’s investment strategies and Luxembourg fund management structure into its wider platform. The division will be led by Turing Capital co-founder Jorge Schnura, who joins Keyrock’s executive committee as president of the unit.

The company said the expansion will allow it to provide services across the full lifecycle of digital assets, from liquidity provision to long-term investment strategies. «In the near future, all assets will live onchain,» Schnura said, noting that the merger positions the group to capture opportunities as traditional financial products migrate to blockchain rails.

Keyrock has also applied for regulatory approval under the EU’s crypto framework MiCA through a filing with Liechtenstein’s financial regulator. If approved, the firm plans to offer portfolio management and advisory services, aiming to compete directly with traditional asset managers as well as crypto-native players.

«Today’s launch sets the stage for our longer-term ambition: bringing asset management on-chain in a way that truly meets institutional standards,» Keyrock CSO Juan David Mendieta said in a statement.

Gemini Shares Slide 6%, Extending Post-IPO Slump to 24%

Published

By

Gemini Space Station (GEMI), the crypto exchange founded by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, has seen its shares tumble by more than 20% since listing on the Nasdaq last Friday.

The stock is down around 6% on Tuesday, trading at $30.42, and has dropped nearly 24% over the past week. The sharp decline follows an initial surge after the company raised $425 million in its IPO, pricing shares at $28 and valuing the firm at $3.3 billion before trading began.

On its first day, GEMI spiked to $45.89 before closing at $32 — a 14% premium to its offer price. But since hitting that high, shares have plunged more than 34%, erasing most of the early enthusiasm from public market investors.

The broader crypto equity market has remained more stable. Coinbase (COIN), the largest U.S. crypto exchange, is flat over the past week. Robinhood (HOOD), which derives part of its revenue from crypto, is down 3%. Token issuer Circle (CRCL), on the other hand, is up 13% over the same period.

Part of the pressure on Gemini’s stock may stem from its financials. The company posted a $283 million net loss in the first half of 2025, following a $159 million loss in all of 2024. Despite raising fresh capital, the numbers suggest the business is still far from turning a profit.

Compass Point analyst Ed Engel noted that GEMI is currently trading at 26 times its annualized first-half revenue. That multiple — often used to gauge whether a stock is expensive — means investors are paying 26 dollars for every dollar the company is expected to generate in sales this year. For a loss-making company in a volatile sector, that’s a steep price, and could be fueling investor skepticism.
