Spiko is a French fintech startup founded in 2023 that provides a blockchain-powered cash management platform, enabling businesses to earn yield on idle cash through tokenized money market funds (MMFs) backed by government treasury bills.[1][2][3] It serves startups, SMEs, holding companies, real estate firms, freelancers, fintechs, Web3 projects, and individuals, solving the problem of trillions in low- or zero-yield European bank deposits by offering daily interest, full liquidity, zero lock-ups, and seamless transfers in fiat or stablecoins.[1][2][5] With over $400 million in assets under management (AUM) and $900 million in processed working capital from more than 1,000 businesses achieved organically in its first year, Spiko raised a $22 million Series A in July 2025 led by Index Ventures, projecting $1 billion AUM by year-end and eyeing US expansion.[1][2][3]
Spiko was founded in 2023 by CEO Paul-Adrien Hyppolite, COO Antoine Michon—both former French government advisors—and CTO Samuel Briole.[1][3][4] The idea emerged to bridge the gap between Europe's underdeveloped cash optimization ecosystem and the US model, where businesses routinely earn interest on idle cash without sacrificing liquidity, addressing the $25 trillion in idle European deposits.[2] Early traction was rapid and organic: within one year, Spiko became Europe's first to launch an AMF-approved tokenized MMF, secured partnerships with Memo Bank, Fygr, Société Générale–Forge, and Morpho, and hit $400 million AUM without dedicated sales efforts, powered by agile full-stack development on Qovery's Kubernetes platform.[1][2][3][4][6]
Spiko rides the tokenization wave in fintech, democratizing institutional-grade treasury tools amid rising central bank rates and Europe's push for capital efficiency against US competitors.[1][2] Timing aligns with regulatory progress—like AMF approvals—and market forces such as $25 trillion in idle cash, stablecoin adoption, and demand for 24/7 liquidity via protocols like Morpho.[2][6] By onboarding smaller businesses via blockchain, Spiko influences the ecosystem, fostering partnerships with banks (Memo, SG Forge) and software (Fygr), accelerating tokenized finance adoption, and paving the way for US-style yields in Europe while embedding Web3 rails into traditional treasury management.[1][2][3][5]
Spiko is poised to hit $1 billion AUM by end-2025, fueled by Series A investments in sales, marketing, product, and partnerships, with US expansion on the horizon to tap mature markets.[1][3] Trends like tokenized real-world assets, stablecoin interoperability, and AI-driven treasury will amplify its growth, potentially evolving it into a global standard for accessible MMFs. As Europe's cash optimization leader, Spiko exemplifies how blockchain unlocks yields for all business sizes, transforming idle cash from a drag into a strategic edge—just as it began by revolutionizing fintech issuance for overlooked players.[2][6]
