Spiko Connects EU Treasury Funds to Coinbase Stablecoin Network
Spiko has integrated Coinbase Payments into two EU-regulated UCITS Treasury funds, allowing investors to use USDC and EURC via Base.
Paris-based fintech Spiko has plugged Coinbase Payments directly into two European Union-regulated UCITS Treasury funds, letting investors subscribe to and redeem shares using stablecoins USDC and EURC routed through Base, Coinbase's layer-2 blockchain network. The move marks a notable convergence of traditional regulated fund infrastructure with on-chain payment rails, bringing crypto-native liquidity mechanisms to instruments that operate under strict EU financial law.
UCITS funds — Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities — represent one of Europe's most tightly supervised investment structures, widely distributed across the continent and beyond. By accepting stablecoin payments through Coinbase's Base network, Spiko is essentially bridging the gap between institutional-grade T-bill exposure and the digital asset ecosystem, a combination that has been technically possible but rarely executed at the regulated fund level.

The integration signals growing appetite among regulated European asset managers to meet crypto-native investors where they already hold capital, without forcing them to convert holdings into traditional bank-wire formats before entering compliant fund structures.

The timing is also significant given that the EU's MiCA regulation is reshaping stablecoin issuance and usage standards across the bloc, creating clearer legal ground for exactly this kind of integration. Spiko's move could serve as an early template for other UCITS managers weighing on-chain subscription and redemption workflows as digital asset infrastructure matures.
