Securitize Secures EU License for Tokenized Trading System on Avalanche

The CNMV approval under the EU’s DLT Pilot Regime positions Securitize to link its European market system with its U.S. infrastructure.

Overview

  • Spain’s CNMV authorized Securitize on Nov. 26 to operate a Trading and Settlement System under the EU’s DLT Pilot Regime, enabling operations across all 27 member states with input from ESMA and the ECB.
  • The platform will run on Avalanche, selected for sub‑second finality and support for institution‑grade, customizable execution logic.
  • The authorization permits a single DLT-based environment that merges trading and settlement for tokenized equities, bonds and funds under regulatory oversight.
  • Securitize plans to directly connect the EU system with its U.S. broker‑dealer and ATS to create a controlled cross‑Atlantic channel for regulated digital assets.
  • Initial EU-regulated issuances are targeted for early 2026, and the company says it is the only firm licensed to operate regulated tokenized securities infrastructure in both the U.S. and the EU.
