Securitize received authorization under the EU’s DLT Pilot Regime to operate a regulated trading and settlement system on Wednesday, becoming the only firm with licensed tokenization infrastructure in both the U.S. and the European Union
Spain’s National Securities Market Commission (CNMV), the country’s national securities regulator, issued the approval giving Securitize the green light to run the system across the bloc.
As part of the launch, Securitize will deploy its European trading and settlement system on Avalanche, citing the network’s near-instant settlement and configurable architecture for institutional use. The first issuance under the new authorization is expected in early 2026.
Securitize received a separate Investment Firm license from CNMV in December 2024, allowing it to execute orders, hold assets in custody, and act as a digital transfer agent for tokenized securities.
That license has since been passported across major EU jurisdictions, including Germany, France, Italy, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands.
The new authorization goes further by allowing the firm to operate the underlying market infrastructure itself — providing a regulated environment for issuing, trading, and settling tokenized securities across the EU. It also connects directly to Securitize’s existing U.S. infrastructure, where the firm operates as a registered broker-dealer, digital transfer agent, fund administrator, and alternative trading system.
Securitize, which announced plans last month to go public via a $1.25 billion SPAC deal sponsored by Cantor Fitzgerald, has become a key provider of tokenization infrastructure for institutions including Apollo, BlackRock, Hamilton Lane, and VanEck.
The firm issues BlackRock’s BUIDL fund, the first onchain Treasurys product to surpass $1 billion in managed assets, which has since grown to more than $4 billion.
