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.
