HONG KONG<\/span>, May 7, 2026<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — Bison Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bison Capital Holding Company Limited, today announced the launch of the\u00a0‘Bison Bank Electronic Token’<\/b>. Designed for fast, secure, and transparent international payments and transfers, the digital<\/b> asset will be issued as two distinct crypto-assets: one referenced to the Euro<\/b>, named ‘EUB<\/b>‘, and another referenced to the US Dollar<\/b>, named ‘USB<\/b>‘.<\/p>\n This initiative is in full compliance with the MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) Regulation, the European Union’s legal framework<\/b> designed to harmonize crypto-asset regulation and ensure operational security and stability. This move highlights Bison Bank’s deep investment in the digital asset space.<\/p>\n A Bridge Between Traditional Money and the Digital Future<\/b><\/p>\n In 2022, Bison Bank launched Bison Digital Assets (BDA). Through this subsidiary, Bison Bank enabled clients to access crypto-asset exchange and custody services directly from their bank accounts.<\/p>\n Today, the Bison Bank Electronic Token establishes a new global benchmark for digital money. It fosters innovation while guaranteeing client protection and market stability.<\/p>\n Meeting Basel Standards for Bank Balance Sheets<\/b><\/p>\n As a MiCA-compliant Electronic Money Token issued by a regulated EU credit institution under ECB supervision, the Bison Bank Electronic Token qualifies for preferential treatment under the Basel Committee’s prudential treatment of cryptoasset exposures (SCO60), effective 1 January 2026. This enables financial institutions in jurisdictions aligned with the Basel Framework to integrate the EMT into their treasury management and balance-sheet treatment with capital requirements aligned to the underlying fiat reference asset.<\/p>\n “Bison Bank’s goal is to reshape the global financial landscape,” <\/i>states <\/i>Ant\u00f3nio Henriques, CEO of Bison Bank<\/i><\/b>. “<\/i>Our <\/i>Electronic Money <\/i>token serves as a secure bridge between traditional money and the digital future — a compliant, fast channel for cross-border payments among institutional partners, merging the reliability of a regulated banking group with the innovation of digital assets.”<\/i><\/p>\n What are Electronic Money Tokens<\/b><\/p>\n An e-money token is the digital equivalent of cash, built on blockchain technology. Each token represents an equivalent value in a traditional currency and is issued by a regulated entity \u2013 in this case, Bison Bank \u2013 which guarantees that every token is backed 1:1 by real currency reserves. Unlike other crypto-assets, these tokens maintain a stable value, making them a secure and suitable<\/b> medium for payments.<\/p>\n About Bison Capital<\/b>: Bison Capital Holding Company Limited is a Hong Kong-based company focused on strategic investments in the financial sector. Its main asset is a 100% stake in Bison Bank, S.A., a fully licensed European Universal Bank with operations in the crypto assets area.
