Securitize Gains EU Approval, Bridging EU and US Financial Markets
Securitize has secured regulatory approval to operate a tokenized securities platform in the European Union, marking a pivotal moment for digital finance. This authorization complements its existing US credentials, effectively linking two of the world's largest financial markets. The firm plans to streamline the issuance, trading, and settlement of tokenized assets across these regions.
Spain's CNMV granted the license, enabling Securitize to provide a regulated framework for tokenized securities in the EU. The company stands alone as the only entity with licensed infrastructure to bridge US and EU markets, leveraging Avalanche's platform for decentralized trading and depository functions.
The Investment Firm license, obtained in late 2024, will now extend to key European markets like Germany, enhancing cross-border efficiency. Institutional clients gain access to a seamless, compliant ecosystem for digital asset transactions.
