Deployment Marks a Major Milestone in Bridging Traditional Finance with Blockchain Paris, – French fintech leader Spiko has announced the native deployment of its Spiko U.S. and E.U. T-Bills Money Market Funds on Arbitrum One, marking a significant step in the convergence of traditional financial instruments and blockchain technology. Spiko, a pioneer in the Real World Asset (RWA) space, has emerged as a trailblazer with its UCITS-compliant tokenized investment products, USTBL and EUTBL, which allow retail and institutional investors to hold U.S. and E.U. Treasury Bill-backed money market fund shares in self-custodial wallets. With $159 million in assets under management, Spiko’s funds have quickly become some of the most successful RWA products in Europe, offering unparalleled accessibility and regulatory compliance. Tokenized Finance Meets On-Chain Innovation This deployment integrates Spiko’s institutional-grade cash management solutions into Arbitrum’s thriving blockchain ecosystem, enabling seamless cross-chain interaction for tokenized T-Bills. Investors on Arbitrum One can now access high-quality collateral assets that are fully regulated, providing a critical bridge between blockchain innovation and traditional finance. Nina Rong, Head of Partnerships at Arbitrum Foundation, emphasized the significance of this integration:“Spiko's deployment on Arbitrum One demonstrates how our technology can support institutional-grade RWA adoption. This integration showcases how Arbitrum's infrastructure can enable compliant, regulated financial products while maintaining the security standards that institutional investors require. We’re excited to see Spiko leverage our network to bring tokenized T-Bills to the blockchain ecosystem.” What Sets Spiko Apart Spiko’s tokenized shares of T-Bills are stored in self-custodial wallets, offering investors unmatched control over their assets.
