Nodu raises $1.45 million in funding, entering the blue ocean of European stablecoin compliance

London-based startup Nodu announced in mid-December that it has secured $1.45 million in Pre-Seed funding led by Digital Space Ventures. This funding marks another significant milestone in Europe’s stablecoin infrastructure sector and reflects the market demand during the transition from traditional finance to the crypto asset space.

Compliance Opportunities Under Europe’s MiCA Regulations

Nodu’s core positioning is to provide European financial institutions with stablecoin access solutions compliant with MiCA regulations. As the EU’s latest crypto asset regulatory framework, MiCA sets strict standards for the issuance, custody, and circulation of stablecoins. This creates opportunities for infrastructure service providers with a compliance-oriented approach—Nodu integrates features such as KYC/AML, payment settlement, and fiat currency exchange to help traditional financial institutions enter the stablecoin market with minimal compliance risks.

Localized Strategy Benchmarking Global Pioneers

Nodu is dubbed the “European version of Zerohash,” highlighting its international reference point. Zerohash and pioneers like the acquired Bridge have validated the commercial value of such infrastructure in the US market, while Nodu localizes this model for the European market. The platform currently covers over 100 countries and regions, with a Latvian background providing a flexible regulatory environment support.

From Compliance to Ecosystem Expansion

Nodu’s future plans focus on two directions: deepening global market deployment and strengthening strategic partnerships with banks and fintech institutions. This indicates that the company is not only focused on the local European market but is also laying the groundwork for global operations. Through close collaboration with the traditional financial ecosystem, Nodu aims to become a key infrastructure connecting traditional finance and crypto finance.
