Key Developments
Securitize has received EU approval to launch its new Trading and Settlement System across all 27 member states. This platform will operate on Avalanche, enabling regulated trading and settlement of tokenized securities directly on-chain.
Regulatory Milestone Achieved
The company has now secured full regulatory clearance from the European Union to operate its new Trading and Settlement System (TSS). This marks a historic milestone for digital securities, placing Securitize in a unique position as the only firm holding the necessary licenses to run regulated digital securities infrastructure across both the United States and the European Union.
EU-Wide Rollout of Regulated Digital Securities
The TSS platform has been authorized under the European Commission’s DLT Pilot Regime. This authorization allows Securitize to deploy regulated digital securities infrastructure across all 27 EU member states. The new platform is designed to merge trading and settlement functions into a single digital workflow, a departure from traditional systems that separate these processes. This integrated model aims to eliminate delays, reduce costs, and increase transparency in capital markets.
Market participants will have the capability to trade and settle tokenized assets natively on-chain. Full operations for this system are scheduled to commence in 2026.
Avalanche Selected as the Foundation Layer
Avalanche has been chosen to host the first phase of TSS operations in Europe. The blockchain was selected due to its high throughput, millisecond-level transaction finality, and an architecture specifically designed to support institutional-grade market activity.
This collaboration also establishes the foundation for cross-continental digital markets. Given that Securitize is already licensed in the United States, Avalanche will serve as the technological connector between U.S. and EU capital markets once both systems are fully operational.
Securitize co-founder and CEO Carlos Domingo stated that the approval brings the industry closer to achieving truly borderless capital markets. He emphasized that linking the United States and Europe under a unified regulatory framework removes one of the most significant barriers hindering institutional adoption of tokenized assets.
