Valuno Group AB (publ) today announces that the company has initiated an extensive strategic collaboration related to a major international trade finance transaction, in which Mandato plays a central role. Within the framework of this collaboration, Valuno Group delivers technology and specialised know-how.
Mandato currently manages significant global volumes within trade finance, largely based on digital assets, stablecoins, and modern payment flows. Through the newly established collaboration, Valuno Group's technology constitutes an integrated part of the infrastructure enabling these transactions, with a focus on security, stability, scalability, and global reach.
The transaction is volume-based. The transactions are currently being tested in a production-like environment, and the parties assess that the transaction may be taken live in the near term, subject to the successful completion of ongoing testing. As transaction volumes are processed using Valuno's technical solutions, revenues are generated for Valuno. The collaboration is assessed to have very high commercial potential over time.
Mandato: "Valuno has a truly unique technology"Michael Osterkamp, CEO of Mandato, comments on the collaboration:"We are very pleased that Valuno's technology is now being used as a central part of the infrastructure in these transactions. Valuno has developed a truly unique technological platform that enables the execution of large and complex trade finance transactions in a secure, stable, and scalable manner.
The combination of Valuno's solutions for digital assets together with advanced payment and FX flows enables a cohesive and efficient technical structure for international trade finance. This creates significant operational and commercial economies of scale."
A market of substantial scale and potentialThe global trade finance market encompasses very large volumes and is currently undergoing a rapid structural transformation in which digital assets and stablecoins are playing an increasingly important role. This development places high demands on robust, scalable, and technologically advanced infrastructure.
In this context, Valuno Group's technology is being used as an enabling component in transactions where Mandato is an established participant, further confirming Valuno's position as a provider of advanced financial technology and know-how.
Valuno: "We now complete our strategic pivot"Daniel Sonesson, CEO of Valuno Group, says:"This collaboration marks a very important milestone for Valuno Group. We now complete our strategic pivot from previously being a transaction-driven company to today being a pure provider of technology and know-how for large international transactions.
In this model, we are no longer the party that operates or owns the transaction flows. Instead, we enable our partners' transactions through our technology and our collective expertise. This results in entirely different economies of scale and a significantly more capital-efficient business model."
Sonesson continues:
"At the same time, this means that the collaboration is entirely technology-driven and does not require Valuno Group to hold regulatory authorisations such as MiCA licences. This further strengthens the scalability of the business and allows us to focus fully on developing and delivering world-class technical infrastructure.
We are now entering market segments with very large volumes, low risk and strong long-term potential—significantly greater than those the company has historically handled in its own operations."
Looking aheadFollowing a period of strong focus on strategic transformation, technical development, and the resolution of historical matters, Valuno Group is now well positioned to scale its operations internationally as a provider of technology and know-how to the global financial infrastructure.
"Being able to communicate this collaboration clearly marks that Valuno has entered the next phase. We see growing demand for our technology in transactions where the requirements for scalability, technical robustness, and regulatory compliance are exceptionally high," concludes Daniel Sonesson._________________For further information, please contact:
