The underlying assets in Spiko’s main funds consist of Treasury Bills – short-term debt securities issued by major Eurozone governments or the U.S. Treasury that are always open for trading. The assets are widely regarded as risk-free, as central bank policy rates set the yields. Because they are non-speculative and backed by sovereign guarantees, they are among the safest and most liquid assets available. Spiko’s tokenized architecture — the first of its kind for money market funds in Europe — also enables transfers via stablecoins, offering an alternative to traditional wire payments. Customers can fund their accounts with digital currency and withdraw in fiat, or vice versa. The Series A funding will accelerate Spiko’s go-to-market strategy, with investments in sales, marketing, product development, and new partnership acquisitions. While France was the starting point, Spiko is now focussed on scaling across Europe, offering customers transparency, ease of use, and new solutions enabled by tokenization.
