Case study: Stablecoin Administration Services

An Electronic Money Institution (“EMI”) licensed in the European Union sought to launch a euro-backed stablecoin under the MiCA framework. The goal was to offer a compliant, transparent, and scalable digital payment instrument for institutional use (B2B).

The EMI aimed to issue a fiat-referenced token (Electronic Money Token (“EMT”)) backed 1:1 by euro reserves. The stablecoin would be used for:

  • Cross-border payments
  • Treasury operations
  • On-chain settlement

To meet MiCA’s strict requirements, the issuer needs a partner with deep regulatory expertise, infrastructure, and operational capabilities.

The challenge
  • Complying with MiCA’s reserve, governance, and transparency standards
  • Ensuring daily net asset value (“NAV”) calculation and real-time proof of reserve (“PoR”)
  • Establishing secure tokenisation and minting infrastructure
  • Managing high-quality, liquid euro-denominated reserves
  • Delivering scalable treasury and custody operations
The solution

We deliver a modular, end-to-end solution tailored to the EMI’s needs:

  • Tokenisation via Tokeny
  • We administer the reserve assets and perform daily NAV calculations 
  • NAV and reserve data are posted on-chain via Chainlink, enabling real-time, immutable PoR
  • Treasury-as-a-Service ("TaaS"): we manage the reserve portfolio, ensuring liquidity, safety, and regulatory alignment
  • We act as the reserve bank through European Depositary Bank ("EDB")
The result
  • The EMI launched a MiCA-compliant euro stablecoin (EMT) with full transparency and operational resilience
  • We provide a single-source solution covering tokenisation, reserve management, NAV reporting, and custody
  • The stablecoin is positioned for institutional adoption, with scalable infrastructure and regulatory-grade governance
