When does onchain money actually make sense for an enterprise? It's rarely just about lowering transaction costs.
Our own Merlijne Keuss recently joined Vincent Brandsma to discuss the practical reality of building regulated, #MiCAR-compliant stablecoin infrastructure in Europe. In this episode, they dive into:
💡Solving real operational pain points, from trapped port cargo to cross-border remittances.
📜Why regulation (like MiCAR) gets you to the table, but solving client friction is what closes the deal.
🏦How #EURQ and #USDQ fit into the broader evolution of corporate treasury management.

Fintech Potje live on Quantoz!

Excited to share that Quantoz Payments has launched Embedded Payment Services, giving fintechs and platforms an easy way to build regulated digital money, accounts and payments directly into their products. 

Potje, the Dutch group savings app, is our first partner live on the platform, already using it for Europe-wide Pay by Bank top-ups and instant payouts.

It's great to see this go live after close collaboration with the Potje team. This is just the start, we're looking forward to bringing more fintechs and platforms onto the platform in the coming months.
Help us give a warm welcome to Ornella our new Software Engineer!
Ornella brings 8 years of experience in software engineering, with a focus on frontend, including work on large-scale platforms like FranceConnect, France's equivalent of DigiD used by 40M people. At Quantoz she will be a crucial part of putting users at the center, focusing on how a platform feels, its flow, its performance, as well as by the product thinking that comes before the code to build something solid as it grows.
We're so glad to welcome Ornella to our team and are excited to see her develop herself and us!
We will be in Barcelona attending the European Blockchain Convention!

Our CBDO Henri De Jong is always looking to talk, so if you're thinking about building on stablecoin rails, trying to understand where EURQ or USDQ might fit into your stack, or just want to compare notes on where MiCA compliance is creating friction versus opportunity, come find him!
Stablecoins keep getting talked about like they're still a future thing. They're not.

In the latest episode of "Understanding Crypto," our very own Henri de Jong sits down with Alireza Siadat, Partner at Deloitte Legal, to talk through what's actually happening right now: EMT reporting under MiCAR, getting licensed as a CASP, and where stablecoins are already doing real work, payments, transfers, white label setups for banks and NGOs.

If you want to actually understand this stuff, this episode delivers.

Give a listen here: https://deloittelegal.de/de/services/legal/perspectives/dtalks-podcast-series.html
We're heading to Frankfurt for the S&P Global European Financial Institutions Conference. Henri De Jong will be speaking at the “Europe’s Stablecoin Shift: Risks and Opportunities for Banks” panel. The discussion will cover where the real opportunities sit, what MiCAR means in practice for banks considering issuance, and the risks that come with moving this infrastructure into mainstream financial activity. If you're attending, it's worth being in the room for this one.
Quantoz Payments now has its own BIC code, QUPYNL22.

This means payments sent to Quantoz accounts can be routed directly to us, without anything falling through the cracks. Cleaner routing, and more control over the flow of funds. For our clients, it makes funding accounts via SWIFT more straightforward. For us, it's another step toward being a more complete payments infrastructure provider.

Small update. Real consequence.

We had a guest in the office yesterday!

José from INFTF stopped by to talk through where things could go next. We've worked together before, his efforts were instrumental in getting the TerraPay and Coop Bank partnership off the ground, and that set a good foundation.

This time, the conversation was broader. Future corridors, how Xahau fits into the picture, and what a longer-term relationship could actually look like in practice.

Thank you so much for stopping by José. It was a pleasure to see you in person.
