Spiko offers a well-regulated, institutional-grade path to on-chain Treasury yields, but single-custodian dependency and regulatory concentration create risks that offset the safety of the underlying government bonds.
Top Risks
1
Spiko tokenizes money market funds backed by US and EU Treasury bills — while the underlying assets are low-risk, the tokenization layer introduces smart contract, custody, and regulatory surface area that traditional T-bill investors don't face.
2
Regulatory concentration risk: Spiko is authorized solely by France's AMF. A change in French or EU regulatory posture toward tokenized securities could force restructuring or halt operations.
3
Custodian single point of failure: CACEIS (Credit Agricole subsidiary) serves as sole custodian. A custodian failure or operational disruption would block redemptions and impair fund access.
