The story

Founded in 2025, Qivalis is a European banking consortium purpose-built to issue a fully regulated, MiCA-compliant 1:1 euro-backed stablecoin. Rather than a traditional fintech pivot, Qivalis was created from inception as a multi-bank infrastructure play designed to challenge US dollar-denominated stablecoin dominance. Its go-to-market is consortium-led: major European banks (ING, BNP Paribas, UniCredit, and 34 others) collectively back the project, giving it distribution across 15 countries before launch. The stablecoin targets payments, cross-border settlements, and tokenized asset use cases.
