2026 Startup Pitches
Aurea Hub
Profile
Aurea is the the EU-native B2B infrastructure for on-chain finance. We enable banks, fintechs & merchants to access new opportunities without custody and regulatory headaches. We are structured as an infrastructure provider that delivers a white-label, fully-compliant "Wallet-as-a-Service" (WaaS) platform designed to bridge the gap between traditional institutions and new technology. Operating as a neutral technological bridge, Aurea empowers Tbanks, fintechs, and enterprise merchants to integrate digital assets, stablecoin payments, and yield-generating DeFi protocols directly into their existing applications without the high costs of building proprietary blockchain stacks. By utilizing advanced Multi-Party Computation (MPC) and Account Abstraction security, Aurea provides a secure, non-custodial solution that addresses the "relevancy crisis" facing legacy institutions, enabling them to prevent the 31% churn risk associated with Gen Z customers migrating to crypto-native competitors.
This "Lego-like" architecture allows clients to unlock new revenue streams while retaining full legal and economic ownership of the end-user relationship.
