About Spiko

Spiko was founded in 2023 by Paul-Adrien Hyppolite and Antoine Michon. The company is building the infrastructure to issue, manage, and distribute tokenized financial instruments in a compliant, onchain format.

The first products on the platform are UCITS-compliant money market funds, with fully tokenized registries, designed to offer a seamless, capital-efficient cash management solution for both onchain and traditional finance. Over the coming years, Spiko will launch new tokenized products through its compliant infrastructure.

Spiko has grown organically to over $800M in Assets under Management (”TVL”), and is already used by crypto-native customers across DeFi, trading, custody, and stablecoin issuance. The team also works with a broad range of Web2 companies, institutions, and individuals, making Spiko one of the few truly hybrid platforms bridging Web2 and Web3.

The company is backed by top-tier investors, including Index Ventures, with angel support from founders at Revolut, Bridge/Stripe, Kyriba, and Ledger. .
