Madrid, November 27 (EFECOM).- Real asset tokenization platform, Securitize, announced on Thursday that it has received EU regulatory approval to operate as an investment firm and as a European trading and settlement system (SNS), becoming one of the first blockchain exchanges.
In a statement, the company explained that as part of this license, Securitize will launch its European trading and settlement system on the Avalanche platform, leveraging the high-performance architecture of blockchain for regulated markets.
“With these approvals, Securitize becomes the only company in the world licensed to operate regulated digital securities infrastructure in both the US and EU, allowing issuers and investors to seamlessly participate in two of the world’s largest capital markets,” the company explains.
Securitize CEO and co-founder Carlos Domingo believes that being the only company licensed to operate regulated digital securities infrastructure in both the US and Europe puts the entity “in a privileged position to connect issuers and investors in the world’s two largest financial markets.”
The securitization license was developed in cooperation with the National Securities Market Commission (CNMV), the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the Bank of Spain and the European Central Bank (ECB). Evie
