Oslo, Norway – 10.11.2025 – Norwegian Block Exchange AS (NBX), a leading Nordic crypto service provider & first Norwegian listed active Bitcoin treasury company, and Fizen Sp. z o.o., a registered account information service provider, today announced a strategic partnership to introduce a PLN-denominated electronic money token (stablecoin). This collaboration aims to enhance the accessibility and utility of digital money for retail and institutional partners across the EU and in particular Poland.
Under this partnership, Fizen will act as NBX’s appointed distributor for PLN e-money, leveraging its app, marketing functions, and partner network for user acquisition. All e-money and payment accounts will remain legally issued and operated under NBX’s license, with Fizen acting solely as a distributor on behalf of NBX. The collaboration is a significant step in the evolution of digital financial services in Poland, combining NBX's regulatory expertise and e-money infrastructure with Fizen's market reach and innovative platform.
"This partnership marks an exciting step toward bringing regulated digital money into everyday payment flows,” said Maciej Krasowski, CEO of Fizen.
“Together with NBX, we’re building the foundation for a PLN-denominated stablecoin that can seamlessly interact with banks, merchants, and fintech platforms across Europe, as part of Fizen’s broader vision of an alternative, regulated payment network built on Open Banking and distributed-ledger technologies. Poland, with over 19 million mobile-banking users, more than 7 million crypto users, and online-banking transaction volumes exceeding €200 billion every month has become one of Europe’s most advanced digital-finance ecosystems."
“Entering Poland - one of Europe’s most dynamic payments markets - through our partnership with Fizen is an exciting next step for a regulated stablecoin issuer like NBX,” said Stig Aleksander Kjos-Mathisen, CEO of NBX. “After bringing USDM to market with Moneta Digital LLC, we’re extending that model in Europe: NBX issues and safeguards the e-money while Fizen distributes. This is the result of years of focused investments on building a digital assets platform, licensing, compliance and technical know-how. With Fizen’s reach, we can operate PLN e-money tokens under a compliant framework from day one and scale across the EU. Aiming for a launch in the first quarter of next year.”
