For crypto whales, at what point is self-custody not worth it anymore? AMINA Group CEO, Franz Bergmueller, recently spoke with Bloomberg @Opinion’s Andy Mukherjee @andymukherjee70 on why the Coldcard hack fundamentally changed the calculus for HODLers. Self-custody can mean taking responsibility for every device, key, backup and recovery process, and a single vulnerability can have serious consequences for your digital assets. That’s where regulated crypto players come in. At AMINA Group, we built our custody infrastructure around the principle that no single device, person or process should be a point of failure. And right now, you can get access to our custody infrastructure, with a bonus of up to US $20,000 in USDG and VIP benefits by joining AMINA EU.

Tokenising a money market fund enables it to move among approved investor wallets at any hour of the day. Though it doesn’t change the rules governing the fund. In the EU, MiCA’s prohibition on interest payments for e-money tokens creates a regulatory distinction: while e-money tokens cannot offer interest, tokenised money market funds provide a regulated investment structure for accessing yield on-chain. As tokenised money market funds gain traction, the appeal for institutional investors is clear: earn a return on cash while keeping assets within the blockchain ecosystem. But holding a token in a wallet doesn’t automatically mean having instant access to cash. Transfers may happen beyond traditional market hours, but continuous trading doesn’t automatically mean continuous liquidity. Someone still needs to provide the assets to settle a transaction. How should institutions assess tokenised money market funds as these products become more integrated into treasury and collateral workflows? Read this week’s Crypto Market Monitor (CMM) for our closer look at the European regulatory context, and what these mechanics mean for institutional use. 🔗 eu1.hubs.ly/H0z0S7r0 #Tokenisation #MoneyMarketFunds #DigitalAssets #InstitutionalFinance #AMINA

TODAY, Jan Kühne, Executive Director B2B Sales at AMINA, will be attending Bank Acceleration hosted by @AgefiFrance in Paris. 🇫🇷 As technology, regulation and new forms of payments reshape financial services, the focus is increasingly shifting from experimentation to what can actually scale. Jan will join conversations exploring the forces shaping the next decade — from AI and instant payments to stablecoins, blockchain and cybersecurity.

During Vienna Blockchain Week earlier this year, Peter Stolcz, Director of B2B Sales at AMINA, sat with Philipp Sakuler in the Let's Talk About Tech podcast by Venionaire Capital AG to discuss why Austria was an important European entry point for AMINA, and how its MiCA license can provide a foundation for expanding regulated services across the European market. For institutions, regulatory clarity is increasingly becoming part of the infrastructure needed to engage with digital assets. MiCA is more than a regulatory framework for digital assets. It is also helping shape the infrastructure through which regulated digital-asset businesses can operate across Europe. Watch the full clip below for Peter's thoughts. ⬇️ #MiCA #DigitalAssets #CryptoRegulation #InstitutionalCrypto #Europe #AMINABank

📈Tokenised stocks may look similar to traditional equities. Legally, they can be very different. For professional investors in the EU and EEA, access depends on the specific token and jurisdiction. Products such as Ondo Stocks may provide economic exposure through a linked-security structure, while Robinhood Europe’s Classic Stock Tokens are structured as MiFID II derivative contracts. The available universe can be broader, but the underlying legal and regulatory framework still matters. The stock may be the same. The investor's claim may not be. Our latest Crypto Market Monitor breaks down the structures, investor access and key considerations across Europe and other major markets.

"The token is not the asset." AMINA EU Chair of the Board of Directors, Myles Harrison @MylesHarrison89 made his case to @beincrypto that a token represents a claim, and a claim only means something if a regulated institution is legally obliged to honour it. Institutional clients don't ask which chain an asset sits on. They ask who owes them what, under which law, and what happens if something goes wrong. Tokenisation earns its value where it improves access, settlement, or collateral use. Not where it repackages something already available.

For institutions operating across the EU, where a stablecoin is issued, and which regulatory framework governs it, can materially change the nature of the claim. Under MiCA, stablecoins referencing a single official currency are classified as electronic money tokens (EMTs), with specific requirements around issuance, safeguarding, redemption and liquidity. It can all affect how an institution assesses stablecoin exposure, particularly when assets are used for treasury, collateral or cross-border transactions. Our latest edition of The Bridge takes a closer look at the EU framework, including how different issuers have taken different regulatory routes under MiCA, and why reading the regulatory details behind the ticker is becoming an essential part of institutional due diligence.

Good conversations, a great view, and a room full of people shaping the future of finance. 🌇 That was our Digital Assets Sundowner in Frankfurt this week. ✨ We were delighted to welcome 70+ senior leaders from across banking, asset management and the digital asset ecosystem to the terrace of Frankfurt School of Finance & Management; no presentations or pitches, just an evening of networking, ideas and conversations. A big thank you to everyone who joined us, and especially to our co-hosts Simon Censkowsky at Cashlink and Gloria Traidl and Fatma Dirkes Frankfurt School of Finance & Management for helping make the evening happen. 🤝 It was wonderful to see the energy around Frankfurt’s digital asset community, and we look forward to continuing the conversations and contributing to the ecosystem together. #DigitalAssets #Tokenisation #Stablecoins #Banking #FinTech #Frankfurt #AMINA

Recently, Myles Harrison @MylesHarrison89, Chairman of the Board of Directors at AMINA EU, spoke to @PaySpaceGlobal to discuss what comes next for the European stablecoin market and why the next phase is less about regulation and more about operational readiness. Stablecoins can address settlement delays, intermediary costs and limited transparency in correspondent banking. But the experience only improves if the infrastructure around the transaction can keep up. Myles points to three areas that still need to evolve: instant fiat on/off-ramps, compliance that operates at the speed of on-chain settlement, and reconciliation between blockchain transactions and legacy bank systems. As he puts it: “The speed of the blockchain is irrelevant if the fiat connections are slow.” Read the full interview below. ⬇️ eu1.hubs.ly/H0xGjBh0 #Stablecoins #MiCA #DigitalAssets #Payments #InstitutionalFinance #AMINA

For investors who have been left navigating paused services or changing access following the end of the MiCA transition period, choosing a regulated provider is only the starting point. 📍 The bigger question is what sits behind that license — from custody and asset segregation to governance, operational resilience and the features of the services available.

Spent years managing seed phrases, backups, and recovery plans yourself? Get access to absolute cold custody by switching to the AMINA EU platinum package which includes a bonus of up to US $20,000 in USDG and VIP Benefits (T&C apply). 🚀 The recent Coldcard incident showed what happens when security depends on a single device getting everything right. One firmware flaw that went undetected for five years. Billions in losses. Institutional custody doesn’t replace self-sovereignty. It replaces the operational burden with a system designed to assume any single component can fail — audited key generation, multiple independent approvals before assets move, geo-distributed recovery, 24/7 monitoring, and assets segregated from the custody provider’s balance sheet. With AMINA EU, you can have it all. Want to make the move? Find out more and switch to AMINA EU → eu1.hubs.ly/H0xz8S60 Marketing communication by AMINA (Austria) AG. No investment advice.

For crypto investors across the EU, the end of the MiCA transition period marks an important milestone. While some providers have already secured their MiCA license, others are still progressing through the authorisation process—raising practical questions about custody, trading, and what to look for in a regulated provider. Our latest article is an educational guide to help investors understand what the transition from VASP to MiCA licensing means in practice, what has changed, and the key considerations when evaluating digital asset providers in the EU's new regulatory landscape.

European central banks aren’t buying gold as a hedge anymore; they’re buying it as insurance. The Czech National Bank grew its gold reserves from 12 tonnes in 2022 to 82.4 tonnes by June 2026, targeting 100 tonnes by 2028. Silver, meanwhile, now sources roughly half its annual demand from solar panels, EVs, semiconductors and AI infrastructure, with structural supply deficits every year since 2021. So, what does this mean for investors thinking about precious metals today? AMINA EU’s latest Crypto Market Monitor examines the structural shifts reshaping gold and silver.

At the Digital Asset Yield Summit hosted by @P2Pvalidator, @MylesHarrison89, Chairman of the Board of Directors at AMINA EU, discussed one of the most persistent friction points in the industry right now, where businesses are still being blocked by their own banking providers from making stablecoin or crypto-related transactions. For many of them, AMINA is where they turn because we bridge the gap between TradFi and DeFi and successfully facilitate such payments even today. But the goal isn’t just another on-ramp. As Myles put it: “We see a world where actually, if you’re able to go from a consumer paying for a good or service without the need to off-ramp, then really we’ve done our job as an industry.” Watch the clip below. ⬇️ #Stablecoins #DigitalAssets #CryptoBanking #TradFi #DeFi #InstitutionalFinance #AMINA

During @money2020 Europe last month, @MylesHarrison89, Chairman of the Board of Directors at AMINA EU, joined the @FintechGarden podcast to discuss the rapid evolution of stablecoins and what it means for institutional finance.   One trend continues to stand out: growing demand for stablecoin payments. Global teams, remote workers, and employees are increasingly choosing to be paid in stablecoins across borders, while institutions are looking for regulated ways to access stablecoin payments, custody, on-ramps, and yield strategies. AMINA has the infrastructure to facilitate this for institutions and we continue to do so even today.   As Myles put it:   “We’re not here to replace DeFi, but we are here to redefine how financial institutions operate.”   Watch the clip below 👇   #Money2020Europe #Stablecoins #DigitalAssets #CryptoBanking #InstitutionalFinance #AMINA
