[New Fundraising] Spiko Raises $90M Series B Led by NEA to Make Yield Universal
Spiko is a French-regulated tokenization platform that issues UCITS-compliant money market funds, tokenizing risk-free assets such as U.S. Treasury bills into on-chain shares. Funds are held by an independent custodian bank and never sit on Spiko's balance sheet, ensuring a bankruptcy-remote structure.

AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
Tokenization means recording and transferring fund shares on a blockchain. As described in the source, Spiko provides on-chain money market fund shares, while the fund assets are held by an independent bank custodian rather than directly by Spiko. The headline also discloses the financing amount, round, and lead investor.
Why it matters to readers
This financing may increase market interest in regulated on-chain funds and asset tokenization models, but the source does not explain how the financing proceeds will be used or provide actual business growth data.
Beginners can use this to understand how traditional funds may be offered in the form of on-chain shares, and why independent custody and bankruptcy-remoteness are important concepts in an asset-security structure; this does not mean that the products concerned are risk-free.
Risks and unknowns
The source provides only announcement text and source links, without independent verification materials.
Other investors, financing terms, valuation, closing status, and use of proceeds were not disclosed.
The custodian bank's name, specific fund size, user adoption, and performance data were not provided.
The source uses “risk-free assets” to describe assets such as U.S. Treasury bills, but does not explain that market, liquidity, or operational risks may still exist.
Claims of “regulated in France,” “meeting UCITS requirements,” and a “bankruptcy-remote structure” still lack supporting regulatory or legal documents.
