Kauri.Finance

Kauri.finance is now a public limited company (AS) in Estonia.

If you're processing payments through us, your money now sits behind a stronger legal structure - the same corporate form required of banks and regulated financial institutions in Europe.

This transition directly supports our CASP and EMI licence applications, which means more payment methods, more currencies, and fewer limitations for your business in the months ahead.

We built Kauri.finance for companies that move money across fiat and crypto without wanting to think about what's happening behind the scenes. This move makes that "behind the scenes" more solid than ever.

More updates coming soon.

World Heavyweight Champion Oleksandr Usyk to become a Shareholder of Kauri Finance.

KAURI FINANCE has officially finalized an agreement to welcome undisputed World Heavyweight Champion Oleksandr Usyk as a strategic co-founder and investor after receipt of relevant regulatory approvals.

This partnership combines Kauri Finance’s eight years of regulated fintech expertise with Oleksandr Usyk’s long-term strategic involvement as an investor and co-founder. The partnership is focused on the next evolutionary step for Kauri Finance: becoming a fully licensed EMI and CASP. Upon receipt of those licenses, the platform will provide high-quality, secure, and modern financial services for both corporate and individual clients across the EEA.

"The most critical asset in any venture is the team behind it. When you apply the discipline of professional sport to finance, you build something that lasts." - Oleksandr Usyk

"In 2018, I secured our first license in Estonia. In 2026, with Oleksandr alongside us, we're becoming a full-scale digital financial service provider for the European market." - Alex Pavlov, Founder

What's ahead: Visa and Mastercard principal memberships, direct connections to SEPA and SWIFT, payment accounts, payment cards, cross border payments, digital assets and much more, all under one unified financial platform.

The next phase of Kauri starts today.

✅ Expanded capabilities�Obtaining these licenses will unlock new products, payment solutions, and crypto services for businesses and individual users across Europe.

✅ Future-ready foundation�MiCA establishes unified rules for the EU crypto market, while the EMI license will enable us to build a fully integrated payment ecosystem.

Crypto wallets for startups are no longer experimental - they’re becoming normal infrastructure.

More companies are integrating wallets directly into their payment flows, treasury operations, and global settlements.

In 2026 crypto payments are quietly becoming part of the financial stack businesses already use.

Here are a few facts from Finextra that show where things are heading ⬇️

Stablecoins are no longer a crypto experiment - they’re quietly becoming core payment infrastructure.

Recent analysis shows that businesses are increasingly using stablecoins not for speculation, but as a practical tool for:
- faster settlement
- treasury efficiency
- cross-border payments.

Embedded into existing payment rails, they enable 24/7 money movement, improved liquidity management, and lower operational friction.

➡️ For businesses operating across markets, the next competitive advantage may come not from new products, but from how efficiently money moves behind the scenes.��

B2B stablecoin payments grew 30x in 2 years. B2C barely moved.

In the past two years, B2B stablecoin payments jumped from $100M to over $3B per month - a 30x increase and now make up ~60% of total stablecoin payment activity.

Meanwhile, consumer-oriented stablecoin usage is still trailing in real-world spending.

Why the gap?�
- Enterprises realize savings of up to 80% compared to conventional cross-border banking. �
- Larger transaction levels provide a clear ROI.�
- APIs, treasury tools, and regulatory clarity.

There is growth in B2C wallets, 30M+ active wallets, ~53% YoY, but these account for

“We’re licensed, so we’re safe.”

That’s what many companies say -> until regulation actually gets tested.

Not all crypto licenses are created equal. Before trusting a digital bank with your working capital, here’s what really matters:

THE VASP LICENSE TRAP

A VASP license usually means a company is registered to provide crypto services. Nothing more.

What you should actually check:

✅ License jurisdiction
Is it EU-based?
Estonia, Poland, Lithuania are generally considered stronger jurisdictions.
Always verify directly via official government registries.

✅ MiCA compliance status
The EU’s new crypto regulation is now in force.
Platforms that fail to comply may face operational restrictions in the near future.

✅ Additional licenses
VASP alone is rarely enough.
Established institutions often hold EMI, PI, or MTB licenses alongside crypto registration.

Why this matters:
Your digital bank holds your company’s working capital. Regulatory issues can lead to frozen accounts, delayed access to funds, or forced migrations - all of which can be critical for a business.

How Kauri is structured:
✅ VASP (Estonia) + MiCA compliant
✅ Payment Institution (Poland)
✅ EMI (Gibraltar) + MTB (USA)

Your business could be shut down tomorrow and you wouldn't even see it coming.

That’s the reality for many EU companies working with crypto the wrong way.
